About ARCC

The Arizona Ready for College and Career (ARCC) AmeriCorps Program is a statewide project providing direct service to students and families. The focus of ARCC is to increase college and career readiness for those most in need throughout Arizona through support of on-time high school graduation, post-secondary enrollment and career exploration options across Arizona. ARCC members assist with key college going steps including: exploring college and career options, FAFSA completion, scholarship searches, college applications, test preparation, and more.

Applications for members with an interest in education, youth development and college access are accepted on a rolling basis. Members receive training on college access from The Arizona College Access Network (AzCAN) and Northern Arizona University (NAU).
