“I already feel like I've known 12Plus for so long. You can speak to them like they're your friends, but they will also be on you to make sure you do what you need to do. If it wasn't for them, I wouldn't have been able to submit my Penn State application by the deadline.”
Kesha Penn Treaty School Senior, Class of 202
“We want to see this across the country...programs like this are opening doors”
