Partnering for Purposeful Progress

Service: Postsecondary Success Coaching

The Challenge
Maria, a first-generation college freshman, struggled to navigate her university's academic expectations. She faced challenges with time management, self-advocacy, and connecting with campus resources—all while balancing a part-time job and family obligations.

Our Solution
Through one-on-one success coaching, we worked with Maria to create an academic roadmap, develop effective time management strategies, and build confidence in communicating with professors and campus support offices. We also introduced her to relevant student organizations and scholarship resources.

The Impact
Maria improved her GPA from a 2.3 to a 3.4 over two semesters, secured a campus leadership role, and successfully renewed her financial aid package. She graduated on time and is now pursuing a master’s degree in social work.

Service: DEI & School Climate Consulting

The Challenge
A suburban high school faced declining student engagement and rising disciplinary issues, particularly among marginalized student groups. Staff reported uncertainty about how to create more inclusive classrooms and equitable policies.

Our Solution
We conducted a comprehensive school climate assessment, facilitated professional development in culturally responsive teaching, and guided the formation of a student-led equity council. Our team also supported the revision of school policies to ensure more equitable discipline practices.

The Impact
Within one academic year, the school saw a 30% decrease in disciplinary referrals and a 15% increase in student participation in extracurricular activities. Teacher surveys indicated a significant boost in confidence around inclusive instruction, and student feedback reflected a stronger sense of belonging.

Service: Special Education & IEP/504 Advocacy

The Challenge
The Johnson family sought guidance in preparing their son, Ethan—a high school senior with an IEP for ADHD and dyslexia—for his transition to college. They were uncertain about accommodations in higher education and how to advocate for his needs.

Our Solution
We collaborated with Ethan, his parents, and his IEP team to create a comprehensive transition plan. We provided coaching on self-advocacy skills, educated the family on disability services in postsecondary settings, and supported Ethan in drafting accommodation request letters for college disability offices.

The Impact
Ethan successfully transitioned to a four-year university, where he accessed necessary accommodations and maintained academic progress. His family felt empowered throughout the process, reporting reduced anxiety and increased confidence in navigating higher education systems.

Service: Curriculum & Program Design + Career Readiness Coaching

The Challenge
A local nonprofit serving underrepresented high school students wanted to launch a career readiness program but lacked a structured curriculum that aligned with student needs and workforce expectations.

Our Solution
Green Apple Consulting designed a 12-week career readiness curriculum that included career exploration, resume and LinkedIn workshops, mock interviews, job shadowing partnerships, and soft skills training. We also trained the nonprofit’s staff to facilitate sessions effectively.

The Impact
The program engaged over 100 students in its first year, with 85% completing career portfolios and 70% securing internships or part-time employment by program completion. The nonprofit reported increased student engagement and leveraged program outcomes to secure additional grant funding.
