College LAUNCH for Leadership
The Wake Forest College LAUNCH for Leadership Program is a free nine-month college prep, social justice, and leadership development program for high school juniors in Winston-Salem, Charlotte, and the surrounding communities.
College LAUNCH Scholars will learn what it takes to open the doors to higher education, prepare for their futures, develop a critical understanding of historic and ongoing social injustices within their communities, and further grow their leadership skills.
“As we know our story, we know our power”
“College LAUNCH helped me become a better leader in numerous ways. I discovered how to network and function as a young professional. Furthermore, this program allowed me to meet other wonderful students in my community. The companionship and mentoring I received from this program were unparalleled to any other!”
