About

GearUp is a non-profit group dedicated to supplying low-income and first generation, graduating seniors with the supplies they need to get started on their post-secondary adventure.  With the help and support of their families, educators, and community mentors, these students have accomplished the exciting milestone of acceptance into college or a skilled training program.  However, the cost of purchasing the supplies necessary to get started on their journey can be overwhelming.  These items include dorm room essentials, technology tools, and school supplies.  The goal of GearUp is to eliminate the stress of funding these items so students can walk onto campus confident they belong and supplied with the tools they need to succeed.
