College Access: Research & Action (CARA)
EducationNew York, United States51-200 Employees
CARA is a New York City-based nonprofit in the education sector focused on helping first-generation, low-income, and students of color gain the knowledge and support needed to enroll in and persist through postsecondary education. The organization partners with public high schools, community-based organizations, and higher education institutions to broaden access and move guidance from a selective enrichment to a universal entitlement. Its work centers on two primary activities: building institutional capacity within schools and conducting policy research. CARA collaborates with a network of government, university, and community partners to address inequities in access to higher education. In January 2021, CARA released a policy brief called Organizing for Access that analyzes how to integrate a college access program in New York City high schools.
