How Act Six Works
Act Six uses a simple but powerful four-part strategy:
-
Recruit and
Select
Annually recruit and select diverse, multicultural cadres of Washington's most promising emerging urban leaders.
-
Train and Prepare
Intensively train these groups of students in the year prior to college, equipping them to support each other, succeed academically, and grow as service-minded leaders and agents of transformation.
-
Send and Fund
Send the teams together to select faith-based colleges across Washington on full-tuition, full-need scholarships.
-
Support and Inspire
Provide strong campus support and ongoing leadership development to nurture these young people as they find their vocation and grow into the next generation of community leaders.
