To help ensure that more of DC’s young people can navigate the process of getting into and succeeding in college, Double the Numbers has created the following tools, which can be used by students, parents, educators, college access providers, counselors, mentors, and more.

These materials are in no way exhaustive. The Double the Numbers Coalition invites you to adapt and create your own activities and resources to augment the current collection. Please e-mail us to share your work. We may include your work in next year’s resources or post it on this Web site to share with others engaged in this important effort.
