College Possible is a St. Paul-based program founded in 2000 to help make college admission easier for low-income students. The free program pairs select groups of students with AmeriCorps “coaches” who advise a cohort of students through their junior and senior years—helping them with everything from hitting key deadlines to ACT prep.

The students also regularly perform a fundraiser for a good cause. All donations from Tuesday’s car wash supported the I am a Star campaign, which brings aid to Somalia.
