Ivy Scholars is dedicated to the goal of helping students achieve their educational dreams, and we are hardly the only organization doing so. To help reach this mutual goal, Ivy Scholars has partnered with several other organizations.
These partnerships allow us to share our expertise and resources with a wide array of students and parents, explaining the intricacies of the college admissions process and the pitfalls that often trip up unsuspecting students. These organizations are also nonprofits, frequently seeking interns and volunteers to help their mission; opportunities that interested Ivy Scholars students benefit from.
Here’s some examples of what our partnerships look like in action:
Catalyst Collective, led by Founder and Executive Director Joe Elliott, is a non-profit organization based in Austin, Texas. The mission of Catalyst Collective is to help the next generation find clarity and confidence in their unique design and purpose. Through innovative mentorship programs and social-emotional learning curricula, Catalyst Collective reaches thousands of students and leaders across the United States.
The organization began in 2011 with Joe Elliott and five high school interns, and has since grown into a vibrant community impacting thousands of young adults annually. The core initiative, the Purpose Project, helps individuals understand and unlock their identity and potential in a matter of hours rather than years. This project is accessible through online courses, workshops, and a secondary curriculum aimed at providing a comprehensive social-emotional learning experience for students.
Joe Elliott brings over 20 years of experience in mentoring, coaching, and leadership, coupled with a successful professional background in the technology sector, to his role at Catalyst Collective. His authentic and direct communication style, combined with his practical advice and storytelling, engages and inspires audiences at various events and workshops.
Catalyst Collective’s vision is to empower a new movement of mentors capable of effectively connecting the next generation to a deeper sense of identity, purpose, and belonging. The organization aims to support thousands of students per year by 2026, ensuring that every teen has the opportunity to discover and leverage their unique design to positively impact the world.
Faith And Community Empowerment (FACE) is an organization based in LA, a collective of faith and community based groups dedicated to advocating for the AAPI community in LA. They train faith leaders, provide educational resources to underserved communities, and pursue advocacy for those communities.
FACE began by serving primarily the Korean American community in LA in 2004, but rapidly expanded to work with other AAPI communities. Founded and led by Hyepin Im, FACE has continued its mission of empowering church leaders and providing resources to the communities that they serve.
They have a multitude of avenues for advocacy; aiming to bring awareness to and prevent AAPI hate, building bridges with other minority and underserved communities, and initiatives to increase access to education and housing for these communities. FACE is an organization with broad ambitions, seeking to help their communities in a multitude of different ways.
As they continue this mission, they have partnered with Ivy Scholars to provide yet another resource to the community they serve, namely guidance on the admissions process. Many in the AAPI community are concerned with college admissions, from rumors of bias among top universities to a lack of familiarity with the application system. Through a series of monthly presentations, Ivy Scholars has worked with FACE to dispel rumors and help parents and students understand what top colleges are looking for in applicants, and how they can make their educational dreams come true.
Voythos is a healthcare company which uses advanced computer modeling to find novel ways to treat heart disease. They are currently in the start-up phase, working with their initial investment to develop the technical solutions to advanced healthcare problems.
Founded in a partnership between doctors, researchers, and computer science experts, the team is currently testing and experimenting with its new proprietary technology. Their goal is to create a system which can quickly and accurately predict a person’s chances of contracting an aortic disease, and ways to head this off early, before intensive interventions are required.
As part of their work, they have brought on a number of interns from Ivy Scholars. We work with many students with an interest in the intersection between technology and medicine, and the work being done by Voythos is a natural pathway for them to explore the field.
We work to ensure our students are able to make substantial contributions to Voythos’ ongoing mission, and in turn, they provide these students with practical experience; in medicine, computer science, and the work done by start-ups.
Are you the leader or on the board of a non-profit and want to work with us? We’re always looking to give back to the communities we’re part of, and know that collaboration is the greatest possible force multiplier. We work with organizations in multiple different capacities, these include:
Do you have a group of students or parents concerned about the application process, stressed about standardized tests, or wondering how to make the most of their time in high school? Our presentations cover every aspect of these topics and more, and are available via Zoom or live.
Ivy Scholars works with students who want to give back to their communities, and who are always looking for opportunities to do so. We have helped our partner organizations find volunteers and interns to help advance their missions, and expand their capabilities.
Laurel Scholars is our non-profit arm, which seeks to ensure that we are able to help highly deserving students get into the colleges of their dreams, regardless of their financial situation.
