College Possible Milwaukee celebrates remarkable success helping local students get accepted into college

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- As the graduation season approaches, a local college access and success organization is celebrating the work of students enrolled in its program.

College Possible Milwaukee, a local part of the national College Possible organization, works hand-in-hand with thousands of Milwaukee students to remove the barriers to earning a college degree. The group pairs with students starting in their Junior year of high school and follows them through college graduation. In 2020, the group served more than 2,000 students in and had a 100% college admission rate.

On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Brittany Lewis showed how the non-profit is building a brighter future for them and their communities.
