Who We Are
JourneyGPS
JourneyGPS offers coaching support solutions for marginalized students. Our signature initiative is the Circle of Champions Network, a platform that organizes the social capital already in the lives of first-generation college students, and turns it into academic capital. JourneyGPS partners with colleges and universities making the network available to their students with four primary goals in mind:
-
Recruit marginalized students into professional career tracks
-
Support marginalized students to increase degree completion rates
-
Place marginalized students into high-ranking universities
-
Transition marginalized students into professional careers
Our Story
The co-founders of JourneyGPS are Luis Chavez and Dr. Bryan Reece. Combined, the two have over six decades of experience in higher education, both having focused most of their careers on equity and social justice issues. In 2021, Luis and Bryan started working together on a solution to close academic equity gaps for students from historically underserved communities. This eventually led to the development or JourneyGPS.
