College and Career Bridge for All (CCB4A) is a partnership between the CUNY Office of K-16 Initiatives and the DOE  Office of  Postsecondary Readiness that ensures all students graduating from NYCDOE high schools have a near-peer mentor to support them to enroll in college or another postsecondary pathway.
