Low-income youth face persistent barriers to post-secondary success, including limited access to advising, career exploration, and the skill-building opportunities needed for economic mobility. In the U.S., approximately 16.6 million young people (ages 14–24) live in low-income families. Yet the national student-to-counselor ratio stands at 385:1—far above the recommended 250:1—a standard met by only 18% of U.S. school districts. Additionally, despite increasingly compelling reasons for youth to pursue higher-ed, FAFSA completion rates have dropped to just 45%, further restricting access to postsecondary pathways. As automation and AI rapidly transform the workforce, early career coaching and guidance is more critical than ever. Unfortunately, too many students are being left behind—particularly in schools serving low-income communities, where career services are stretched thin (and are likely to worsen given massive federal education cuts currently underway). These youth are often left without the tools, guidance, or confidence to pursue high-demand jobs with family-supporting wages. Get Schooled’s powerful solution expands access to college guidance and early career coaching through an all-in-one platform that delivers compelling content and mobile-friendly, AI-powered coaching. By equipping youth with timely, personalized support—right on their phones—we can help them navigate postsecondary pathways and accelerate economic mobility at scale.

With fifteen years of experience as the nation’s only free, all-digital college and early career coach, Get Schooled is now building a revolutionary AI-infused platform designed to provide scaled, compelling support to youth ages 14–24. The platform will ensure all young people—especially those from low-income communities—can access college guidance, early career coaching, and workforce preparation. We already reach millions of youth annually through our mobile-first website, social platforms, direct text outreach, and community partnerships. Our digital model has always delivered personalized support and engaging educational content—right to students’ phones. Now, we’re expanding our impact with a growing suite of AI-powered tools that make college and career coaching more accessible, personalized, and engaging than ever. These include an AI-powered Resume Builder, on-demand Interview Coach, Scholarship Finder, financial literacy tools, and durable skills training—all integrated into a single, seamless college and career platform. Get Schooled meets students where they are: on their devices, on their schedule, and in their voice. With a decade and a half of proven success, we are redefining how young people explore postsecondary options, build confidence, and chart a path toward meaningful, family-supporting careers.

Get Schooled exists to primarily support youth and young adults 14–24 from low-income communities, equipping them with the guidance, tools, supports and opportunities needed for postsecondary success and long-term economic mobility.
