Organization Mission
To raise awareness among students and their families and other influences about the benefits of higher education and how to prepare for it academically and financially, and to motivate students to successfully pursue higher education.

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 TWU 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.
