G-Force

About the G-Force Mentor Program

The Collegiate G-Force Organization is a peer mentoring program that enables and encourages high school students to realize their full potential and ability to pursue higher education.

The program is part of the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board College for All Texans Campaign “Education. Go Get It.” The goal of this campaign is to create the momentum to enroll 630,000 high school students into higher education by 2015.
