Students, educators, parents, and caregivers of all backgrounds are invited. Parents are encouraged to bring students as young as 6^th grade to help enhance their early college planning.  

 “We are the information and resource hub for inner city communities around the country. We want to help students elevate their lives so they can achieve their dreams of being successful. This includes adult learners, who had to put their educational goals on hold to have a family or work a job to survive. We know that education is a game changer,” says Dr. Theresa Price, NCRF Founder and CEO.

In addition to getting connected to college recruiters, students will be able to attend motivating and informative seminars and workshops, including How to Find Money for College, Booming Careers, Why Attend an HBCU?, How to Start a Business and new this year, The Power of Your Voice – The Steps to Becoming Change in Your Community.
