Sunnyside Community Services’ College Readiness Program prepares high school students and recent graduates, ages 14-21, for the college admissions process.

Located in Sunnyside, Queens, the free program is designed to allow participants to receive a well-rounded understanding of the system of higher education in order to make the appropriate academic choices that will benefit them in the future. Through regular and advanced SAT and SAT II classes, college/university admissions and financial aid workshops, college trips, college essay and application building sessions, college-style reading and writing seminars, and individual advisement, students become well versed on college admissions criteria, build their skills for standardized examinations (SATs and SAT IIs), improve their writing, locate various scholarship opportunities and complete necessary applications for college/university admissions and financial aid. The College Readiness Program also publishes a newsletter, The College Front, three times a year to inform participants of college and university opportunities and deadlines.
