G-Force Member Expectations and Eligibility

  • Students often need help to maintain the momentum required by the college preparation process to complete their quest to enter college. G-Force members help create the drive in other students to go to college by providing one-on-one mentoring at the GO Centers. G-Force members raise awareness among students and their families on the value of a higher education, show them how to prepare for college both academically and financially, and motivate students to successfully pursue higher education.
  • The G-Force is a key element of the GO Center. The most successful GO Centers will place the students in a leadership role. The commitment level of the members to the GO Center will be directly proportional to the level of ownership they feel.
  • G-Force students participate in the Collegiate G-Force Mentorship program. Members must maintain a 2.75 GPA, be first-generation college students and/or be identified as economically disadvantaged students.
