Join thousands of students, parents, teachers, partners, and college access professionals from across the nation to celebrate GEAR UP and the successes of your hard work and dedication! 

 

National GEAR UP Week is an opportunity for you to raise awareness in your community about the positive impact GEAR UP is having locally.  It's a time to engage all your stakeholders - local, state, and federal elected officials, funders, and partners, as well as local, state, and regional media - to share your program's accomplishments and to get them more involved with your services to students and families.
