Who We Are
A college-readiness program for underserved students and their families in the greater Puget Sound area, Making Connections (MC) seeks to increase college enrollment and career interests in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) fields. Making Connections operates within the Women's Center at the University of Washington.
What We Do
MC provides four years of life-changing, wrap-around academic and enrichment services to 105 high school students and their families. It combines the nuts and bolts of college readiness preparation with career exploration, academic tutoring, personal and professional mentorship, leadership development, ongoing professional enrichment, and a lifelong network of allies comprised of MC alumnae and supporters.
The students who join MC do not follow a checklist; they carve out their unique paths in collaboration with personal champions who customize the program every year based on those students’ dreams, interests, abilities and goals.
