THE RECRUITMENT AND TRAINING PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING SUB-PROGRAMS: RECRUITMENT, PRE-COLLEGIATE TRAINING, CAMPUS AND CAREER AND ALUMNI. FOR THE RECRUITMENT PROGRAM, FROM SEPTEMBER THROUGH DECEMBER EACH YEAR, POSSE CONDUCTS THE DYNAMIC ASSESSMENT PROCESS (DAP), A UNIQUE EVALUATION METHOD DESIGNED TO IDENTIFY YOUNG LEADERS WHO MIGHT BE MISSED BY TRADITIONAL ADMISSIONS CRITERIA, BUT WHO CAN EXCEL AT SELECTIVE COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. FOR THE PRE-COLLEGIATE TRAINING PROGRAM FROM JANUARY TO AUGUST OF THEIR SENIOR YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL POSSE SCHOLARS MEET WEEKLY WITH STAFF TRAINERS AND THEIR POSSE PEERS FOR TWO-HOUR WORKSHOPS. THE TRAINING PROGRAM CONSISTS OF WORKSHOPS THAT ADDRESS FOUR AREAS: TEAM BUILDING AND GROUP SUPPORT, CROSS-CULTURAL COMMUNICATION, LEADERSHIP AND BECOMING AN ACTIVE AGENT OF CHANGE ON CAMPUS, AND ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. FOR THE CAMPUS PROGRAM, POSSE STAFF MEMBERS VISIT EACH UNIVERSITY FOUR TIMES AYEAR FOR MEETINGS WITH POSSE SCHOLARS, CAMPUS LIAISONS AND MENTORS. EACH MENTOR MEETS WEEKLY WITH THE POSSE AS A TEAM AND WITH EACH SCHOLAR INDIVIDUALLY EVERY TWO WEEKS DURING THE FIRST TWO YEARS IN COLLEGE. IN ADDITION, POSSE FACILITATES AN ANNUAL WEEKEND-LONG POSSEPLUS RETREAT ATTENDED BY MEMBERS OF THE LARGER STUDENT BODY, FACULTY AND ADMINISTRATION, WITH THE GOAL OF DISCUSSING ANY IMPORTANT CAMPUS ISSUES IDENTIFIED BY POSSE SCHOLARS. FOR THE CAREER PROGRAM, POSSE PLAYS AN INTEGRAL ROLE IN THE PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT OF OUR SCHOLARS AND ALUMNI BY PROVIDING THEM WITH THE TOOLS AND OPPORTUNITIES NECESSARY TO SECURE HIGHLY COMPETITIVE AND CAREER-ENHANCING INTERNSHIPS AND JOBS. ONE OF THE WAYS POSSE ACHIEVES THIS IS BY PARTNERING WITH EXCEPTIONAL COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS BOTH NATIONALLY AND ABROAD. CURRENTLY, POSSE HAS MORE THAN 175 PARTNER COMPANIES AND ORGANIZATIONS NATIONWIDE. THE CAREER PROGRAM HAS THREE CORE COMPONENTS: THE INTERNSHIP PROGRAM, CAREER SERVICES AND THE ALUMNI NETWORK.GeographiesNot indicatedDatesJan 1, 2020 – Dec 31, 2020Source990No causes providedNo populations provided–$15.9MRecruitment and Training Programs
