Janae White is a 2016 graduate of John Marshall. She graduated in May 2020 with a B.S. degree in Interdisciplinary Studies with a minor in Community Based Education from Virginia State University. She is no stranger to Northside as she previously served as the YD Center Coordinator at the YMCA. We are excited to welcome her back home as the Future Center Director. As a student, she volunteered as an intern assisting the former director and implemented the Ambassador position for students to develop life skills. She also assisted with coordinating many events for seniors. She is excited to introduce herself to the student body and host "Nachos with the New Navigator." We are excited to have her on the staff.

The goal of the Future Center is to ensure that all students graduate with a plan after high school. That plan can be attending a 4-year college or university, a 2-year junior or community college, a technical or trade school, enlisting in the military, or entering the workforce. I also work with students in the following areas:
· College Applications
· Finding and applying for scholarships
· Financial Aid
· FAFSA (Free Application for Federal Student Aid)
· Registering for the SAT and ACT
· SAT & ACT fee waivers
· Employment during high school or over the summer
· Employment after high school
· Summer enrichment opportunities
· Essay writing workshops
· Choosing a career pathway
· Anything that has to do with the “next steps” after high school!
Students can visit our Google Classroom for additional resources and/or stop by the Future Center to start exploring postsecondary pathways.

A few ways I can help: SAT/ACT registration, financial aid, college and trade applications, employment applications, resume and essay writing, college and career decisions, and scholarships. I am here as a resource not only for students but for faculty and parents/guardians, too!
