Mix & Match Services

Mix and match the support your student needs—whether they’re preparing for college, exploring other paths, or building their confidence for what’s next. We’re here to help them grow, plan, and thrive—no matter which direction they’re heading.

Choose (3) One-hour sessions!
We know that every student’s (and parent’s) journey looks different, so you have flexibility in how you use your 3 sessions. You can focus deeply on one area or spread them across multiple topics—whatever best supports your student’s needs.

For example, you can:

1. Choose 1 session each for three different services to explore a range of topics.

2. Pick 2 sessions for one service and 1 session for another for more balance.

3. Use all 3 sessions for one service if you want extra support in a particular area.
