Through Flex, Davidson County students attending Nashville State Community College part-time are able to receive the same supports as students participating in Nashville GRAD, the first program in the state to add a layer of support to TN Promise by providing free, targeted financial assistance beyond tuition and wrap-around supports to full-time students. GRAD is a public-private partnership being implemented through investments from Metro Nashville Government and several private business partners. Additionally, Nashville Flex works in the Nashville Promise Zone neighborhoods to increase the number of students enrolling and re-engaging in higher education. Flex will train an additional 100 community members to become Reconnect Ambassadors who can help connect potential students, especially those from the Classes of 2020 and 2021, to the individuals and resources they need to succeed.

Description
Tennessee College Access and Success Network partners with The Ayers Institute to offer, The College Access Project, an innovative professional learning tool for any college access professional. We know college access mentoring requires specific skills and knowledge that are rarely, if ever, formally taught. Our goal is to build a cohort of college access leaders across the state, equipped with the tools to be agents of change in their schools and communities. Focusing also on the non-academic factors of entering college, this course is a unique approach to training professionals, who work with young people, and high school counselors alike. Each strand is facilitated and discussion based to allow participants to share ideas and gain insights into the various environments in which college access takes place. The course is offered in five learning strands. TASL credit is available for all strands. Graduate credit is also available upon the completion of all five strands.
