Putting Dreams Within Reach: IYT Bay Area Tours Sonoma State University

December 16, 2024

Inspiring College Dreams, One Campus at a Time

We’re thrilled to share our latest College Tour Video from Sonoma State University! Over 100 of our Bay Area IYT members explored the campus, engaged with college students, and learned about clubs and programs designed to help them thrive.

Sonoma State is a Guaranteed Admissions Partner

As a Guaranteed Admissions Partner, Sonoma State plays a key role in creating clear and achievable pathways for our brothers to pursue higher education. College tours like this are a cornerstone of how we tackle the college-achievement gap for young men of color. By hosting intentional and culturally relevant visits, we ensure our brothers experience life on campus, connect with students and staff who share similar backgrounds, and develop authentic, lasting motivations for higher education.

This method gets results: even during the challenges of COVID-19 in 2019-2020, we found that 80% of IYT members who participated in two or more college tours went on to enroll in college.
