Advocates are Alamance-Burlington School Systems (ABSS) staff members, passionate about student success and college access, who volunteer to serve as liaisons between our program and their school. Advocates play a vital role in actively promoting Elon Academy to students and families to assist with community outreach and recruitment. This includes collaborating with the Elon Academy for info sessions, general promotion, application assistance, and support throughout the selection process.
