Big Dreams, Bright Futures: A Snapshot of American High School Students' Career Aspirations
Get Schooled is a national non-profit founded on the belief that students themselves have the power to improve their future if given the right information and motivation. We leverage the key influences in teens’ lives to directly motivate them to stay committed to graduating from high school and going on to college.
To do this, Get Schooled uses the messengers (celebrities, powerful peers, pop culture events) and the means (mobile/SMS, social, web) that youth turn to; and we meet the students where they are (online, curious, etc) to deliver the information they need to be successful in their educational pursuits.
We call it ‘sizzle and substance’ – and the end result is more youth exploring and being successful on their educational path. Since our founding in mid-2010, we have reached millions and engaged hundreds of thousands – motivating and delivering a unique mix of entertainment and value to teens across the nation.
