Want to inspire others?

The ACT Center for Equity in Learning and with the support of Michelle Obama's Better Make Room campaign are sending students who’ve beaten the odds to make it to college (or are on their way!) on a four-week road trip across the U.S. to talk to people who have overcome struggles to succeed. If you’ve overcome educational, societal, or financial hurdles, or faced down odds that might have kept you from getting to where you are today—we’re looking for you.
You’ve worked hard and come far to get to college! Now get inspired for the adventures and challenges ahead! We’re taking a road trip across the U.S. to talk to people who have pushed past obstacles to reach their dreams, and we want you to come along! It’s free!
