College Awareness Month Task Force

The CAM Task Force will coordinate and publicize the efforts of local agencies to offer events, activities, information, and materials that engage students and families in learning about and preparing for college. Individual community efforts will calendar a variety of activities that are within their normal scope of work that relate to college-going, or will find ways to infuse college awareness and information into already existing activities and venues.
