NextUp

The NextUp program at Saddleback College is committed to ensuring educational equity for eligible current or former foster youth students as they navigate every step of their college journey by providing safe, consistent, and informed support. This includes support while being a prospective student, when applying to the college, with enrolling in classes, attending and completing classes, persisting semester to semester, and ultimately reaching their educational goal(s). The NextUp program will provide a comprehensive set of specialized resources, support, and services that address the health and well-being of their students that go "over and above" the traditional services offered on campus.
