College preparation built for the long run.

A multi-year college readiness program providing Bronx high school students with individualized advising, 1:1 test preparation, mentorship, and the support to confidently navigate what comes next.

More than getting into college
Getting there prepared.
​

The path from high school to college can be complicated, and navigating it shouldn’t depend on how much support or access a student has outside of school.

​

The Next Lap was created to give Bronx students something every young person deserves during that transition: individualized attention, consistent guidance, and people invested in their success for the long haul.

​

Rather than stepping in only when applications are due, Bronx Burners works alongside students over two years. From test preparation and building a college list to applications, decision-making, and preparing for what comes after graduation, support evolves alongside each student.

​

Because no two students are taking the same path, The Next Lap isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s personal, relationship-driven, and built around where each student is now and where they want to go.
