We generally meet in-person on the first Saturday and virtually on the second Wednesday of each month, September through May. 

The monthly individual sessions are designed to dig deeper into your interests, passion project, high school course plan, career path, and college choices. They provide opportunities for you to ask questions and gain more insights from your College Advisor.

We have several opportunities for that. One is our Springboard 2 Success Student Ambassador program. As a S2S member, you  may be selected to represent the Springboard program as a Student Ambassador.  You will learn leadership skills, practice public speaking, and assist with organizing events such as college fairs and recruitment. This volunteer community service is fun and it  looks great on your college and scholarship applications.

Another leadership opportunity involves leading younger students (middle school and upper elementary) in STEAM summer camps and Saturday programs. You’ll help design and learn how to facilitate the hands-on activities as well as work with peers and younger students guiding, leading, and collaborating.

We are located at 2295 Benjamin E. Mays Drive, SW, Atlanta, GA 30311. We are in the East Education Wing of Providence Missionary Baptist Church.

Our mailing address is: Nsoromma School, PO Box 311606, Atlanta, GA 31131-1606
