Defying the conventional wisdom that programs targeting high school students are “too little too late,” MGP is committed to preparing all students for college attendance and graduation. So far, they have made their commitment a reality as 100 percent of the students completing the program have gone on to attend college.

One of the major components is the Road Trip for Success College Tour which became a part of MGP’s curriculum in 2005. This week-long trip during the traditional spring break week offered to high school students provides an out-of-state look at institutions of higher education that include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and top-tier research universities. MGP also offers exclusive scholarship opportunities to participants sponsored by mentors and donors to help ease the financial burden of college for students.

MGP has been acclaimed for its impact on the lives of at-risk youth in publications such as the Wall Street Journal, Golf Magazine, CNN, and more. It is heralded in the community as a pillar of hope for students who do not typically have access to the professional and life skill development resources this program offers. With all of the praise, MGP receives the most poignant example of its transformative power on the lives of youth and its alumni who graduate from college and go on to the careers of their dreams.
