Project Access at Roxbury Community College works with students who are facing non-academic issues that can often serve as barriers to degree/certificate completion.
These issues may include housing and food instability, personal safety concerns, inadequate childcare, and other basic human needs insecurities. Project Access is fortunate to be partnering with several nonprofit organizations that serve the Greater Boston Area.
Through this centralized services approach, the Project Access Team helps students navigate complex systems for accessing Federal, State, and local resources, such as health insurance, childcare, legal services, transportation, and food assistance programs. Project Access also meets the needs of students through the Rox Box, our onsite food pantry.
Staff can also provide targeted referrals to organizations across resource areas, including mental health, domestic violence, childcare, furniture, transportation, technology, housing, and more. The goal of Project Access is to holistically facilitate student success and increase retention.
