Beyond 12 is a technology-enabled service organization that partners with high schools, college success organizations, and colleges that are committed to helping their students succeed in higher education. Through a digital platform that combines human coaches who work with students virtually while they're in college and an ai-powered analytics engine, beyond 12 helps institutions provide their students with the academic, social, and emotional support they need to succeed in higher education and beyond.personalized student coaching - research has shown that academic, social, and emotional engagement are crucial to student success in college and that hands-on support is often critical to ensuring that students from underresourced communities persist past the difficult first years. Beyond 12 hires full-time coaches who support students virtually (via video chat, text, phone, email, and social media) beginning the summer after their high school graduation and typically lasting through their first two years of college. Coaches are "near peers and many are the first in their families to graduate from college, so they understand firsthand the challenges students experience on the road to earning a college degree. Coaches interact with students for 30-minute sessions that occur bimonthly or monthly, depending on a student's needs and risk profile, and help them navigate six key challenge areas: achieving academic, personal, and career goals; balancing school, work, life, and extracurricular activities; utilizing campus resources; understanding and accessing available financial resources; networking and building social capital; and planning for college graduation and career. Not only do coaches help students navigate the structural barriers that stand in the way of their success, but they also help them strengthen their resilience, self-efficacy, engagement, and connection.
