While it has become increasingly apparent that graduating college isn’t close to enough to get you a job these days, we also know that not having gone to or graduated college makes finding a good job so much harder. If young people are going to succeed in life, they need to start with success in high school and college. Bottom Line is a Boston, MA, Worcester, MA and New York, NY based non-profit (they also are working in Chicago) that “has helped thousands of low-income and first-generation students stay in college and earn their degrees.” The organization was founded in 1997 and now reaches more than 3,000 students every year.

What’s the Bottom Line?

Bottom Line’s motto is “Get in, graduate and go far. Success depends on you.” They have two core programs: College Access and College Success. The former helps with the “get in” and the latter helps with “graduate.” Together they’re modeled to help low-income and first generation college students go far. You should check out Bottom Line’s Blog to read some of their Alumni Spotlights. They will give you a really good sense of the kind of work that Bottom Line does. If you’d like to help them do more of it, take a look at their Jobs page. Right now they’re looking for a Program Assistant in their NYC office.
