The College Planning Center (CPC) is a regional joint college access initiative founded in December of 2014 by Framingham State University and Mass Bay Community College through the Department of Higher Education’s Vision Project. The mission of the CPC is to provide the necessary outreach, training, mentoring and advising to connect with youth and non traditional adult learners in the region and guide them on their desired educational pathway to higher education. Opportunities to develop specific skills training through certificates, associate’s degree, Mass. Transfer, or completion of a four year degree. The Center welcomes and serves all members of the community and supports specific outreach focus for underrepresented, low-income, first generation, minority students and their families. The MetroWest College Planning Center is the home to many important college access initiatives like 100 Males to College, Light’s On, Get Out Get Ready, Adventure 360 and College for a Day.
In 2015 MetroWest CPC:
Guided 355 students through our in-school advising programs to focus on higher education.
Served 3500 community members in our out of school time advising with a focus on college preparedness and professional readiness.
Supplied the necessary training to ten college interns to provide engagement for the betterment of youth and adults in the community.

The College Planning Center gave me the structure and support I needed to get into college when I had no one in my family who could help me.
