Advocates
Alamance-Burlington School System
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. Additionally, they collaborate with Elon Academy staff to support Scholars within their schools. Their insights are invaluable in keeping Elon Academy staff informed about significant academic and social challenges faced by Scholars allowing for timely support, intervention, and a coordinated approach to develop a network of support. We a grateful for the commitment from and support of our Advocates!
