Upon completion, a certificate can be printed from our below website. To get started, please accept the challenge by clicking below. Our GOAL is to have 1,000 students accept the challenge. http://collegegraduatemovement.weebly.com/accept-thechallenge.html Why is this movement important? The problem is POVERTY. The solution is EDUCATION. The mission of this project is to reduce the poverty rate through strategic education awareness. Teaching parents to encourage their children to be college bound as early as 5th grade is a great start. Our initiative is to promote a college-bound attitude while inspiring confidence in people of all ages that college is not a mere fallacy, it is an attainable goal. We can end poverty, one college degree at a time. All ages are invited to join the movement.
