In an effort to combat summer melt and promote postsecondary pathways after high school, Detroit College Access Network and Detroit Drives Degrees are partnering again this year to present Summer STEP: Student Transition and Engagement Planning. Summer STEP is free 1-on-1 advising services for students in Wayne, Oakland, and Macomb counties over the summer.

Students will be able to receive support through virtual meetings, text, and email. Encourage your students to sign up for support now for an easy handoff to our summer coaches when summer arrives. Contact support@detroitcan.org for questions and concerns.
