About us

At AdvocateU, we believe that every student has a voice worth hearing — and a future worth shaping.
Our Story

AdvocateU was born out of a deep calling to make sure no student steps into their future unprepared or unaware of their potential. While working as a counselor and advisor, I often heard students share the same regret, wishing they had known more before going to college, and realizing too late that opportunities had been within reach all along. Those conversations stirred something powerful in me. I’ve always believed that nothing happens by coincidence, and I knew I could make a difference before students graduate high school, helping them build confidence, awareness, and a sense of direction for whatever path they choose next.

Our Mission

To empower students with the knowledge, resources, and self-belief they need to navigate college, career, and life with confidence. AdvocateU is committed to helping young people discover their options, recognize their worth, and take ownership of their journey.

Our Vision

A world where every student, regardless of background, feels seen, supported, and prepared to pursue their dreams with clarity and courage.

We offer:

  • One-on-One Coaching: Personalized sessions that help students build self-advocacy and problem-solving skills.

  • Workshops & Webinars: Engaging group experiences that prepare students to speak up, stay organized, and succeed.

  • School & Community Partnerships: Collaborations with institutions to support youth development and college readiness.

We’re committed to creating opportunities for all students — especially those from underserved communities — by providing access to affordable, high-quality advocacy training. We don’t just prepare students for college — we prepare them for life.
