What We Do

At Avenue Scholars Southwest Iowa, our mission is to provide educational and training opportunities for committed students through meaningful relationships and supportive coaching.

We provide individualized support services to help students from low-income backgrounds identify and ultimately enter financially sustaining careers. Each scholar is assigned a Career Coach, who provides long-term comprehensive support and guides students’ personal and career-related development during their junior and senior years of high school, through postsecondary education/training and into a career. Our Business Outreach Team also engages area businesses to provide career exploration, preparation, and placement opportunities to scholars.
