The Wish Education Foundation, in collaboration with CollegeClick, a private college counseling company, are offering free virtual college spring break tours to Santa Clarita Valley high school students this week, officials said.
With spring break college trips derailed, the WiSH Education Foundation and CollegeClick have joined forces to provide students with an alternative: virtual, free access to college and university representatives, financial planners, student panels, college counselors and more.
Sessions are scheduled to be held Monday through Friday, April 6–10. There is one ZOOM link per day and students/parents are encouraged to join in during the sessions that interest them, officials said.
WiSH officials suggest that attendees sign in early and follow the instructions for download or use the password “college” if they want to join as a guest.
The schedule subject to change depending on availability or other factors. The final session schedule with links are expected to be posted by Sunday evening on the CollegeClick website and Facebook page.
