Volar provides free individualized college and career advising to first-generation students and students of color in the Dallas area. Our goal is to increase degree attainment for these groups of students. In addition, we want to support college completion for students choosing this path through best fit advising, family engagement, and scholarship opportunities.
As an organization, we understand the value of a diverse workforce and value ALL career pathways.
Thank you in advance for supporting our mission!
Volar empowers and educates students about their higher education and career options.
Together with their families, we help students find the path that most aligns with their values and strengths.
Volar empowers historically underserved students by providing individualized and intentional college and career advising.
Data shows us that underserved and marginalized individuals (first-generation, low-income, students of color) graduate college at lower rates and receive lower lifetime earnings than their white counterparts. We want to ensure that the next generation of our workforce is strong and empowered, and that EVERY student is empowered to take charge of their destiny.
