Steps to Success
About
Steps to Success is a Brookline nonprofit that works to close the opportunity gap for students from low-income families, supporting them from third grade through college graduation. Working in partnership with the Public Schools of Brookline, it offers after-school extended learning with homework help and enrichment, outdoor programs, summer camp support, work readiness training, internships, and college admissions and financial aid counseling.
Founded in 2001 by Janet Selcer, the organization has served more than 5,000 Brookline students. Its programs grew over time: After Hours University and Teen Advantage for younger students, Work Connections for high school internships, and the College Success Initiative for first-generation, low-income college students, which provides one-on-one advising and help with textbooks, living costs and tuition. Volunteer mentors, family dinners, resource nights and material support for families round out the work.
