The Youth Advisory Committee program focuses on a small group of GEAR UP students, emphasizing college preparation through regular meetings, college campus visits and service learning projects that are grade and age specific. The committees bring students and their parents into the college information loop and create a model for other students to follow.
GEAR UP will support Youth Advisory Committees at our partner schools. To start a new Youth Advisory Committee at your school please submit an application to the GEAR UP office.

Each year,
GEAR UP Mississippi students are taken on tours of Mississippi
colleges and universities. Research shows that one of the most
effective ways to motivate students about college opportunities
is to take them on a college tour. As the old saying goes "seeing
is believing."
The tours are
designed to familiarize students with a variety of colleges and
illustrate the various types of academic majors and campus
environments offered by our institutions of higher learning.
Information for
GEAR UP Site Coordinators:
The Campus Tour Reservation Form must be completed and faxed to the GEAR UP office
and also to the university or college you plan to visit at least two weeks before
your visit.
After the tour
is completed the Campus Tour Student Survey Form must be completed
by each student who goes on the trip. The completed
surveys should then be sent to the GEAR UP office.
