(Prince William County VA - FEBRUARY 18, 2025) — College Steps is launching a new program for Fall 2025 at Northern Virginia Community College Manassas & Woodbridge campuses to provide support for young adults living with social, communication, or learning challenges. In a unique, individualized model, which includes peer-to-peer mentoring, College Steps support high school transition students who would benefit from the college experience prior to graduation. College Steps also supports those exiting high school and those already enrolled at the University.
College Steps’ primary goal is to prepare students for meaningful careers and autonomy after completing the program, placing a strong emphasis on self-advocacy, social competencies, employment, and independent living skills. Students work with trained peer mentors who are supported by a full-time, on-site Program Coordinator at NOVA Manassas and Woodbridge campuses.
Prospective students, families, school district personnel, and advocates interested in learning more about this exciting new initiative are invited to attend public information sessions hosted by College Steps leadership staff. Attendees will learn about specific services offered including the individualized support model, admissions process, as well as associated costs and funding opportunities.
