OUR MISSION

Anchored Pathways to College is committed to providing bilingual support and resources to first-generation, multilingual, and under-resourced families, guiding them through the higher education process. Our dedication extends to building ongoing relationships with families and partners, ensuring they have the necessary support to pursue their academic dreams.

OUR VISION

A community where every family has a clear pathway to college and career, grounded in stability, hope, and opportunity.

Hi! My name is Michelle Gutiérrez. I know what it’s like to feel unsure, to be afraid of asking questions, or to wonder if college is even possible. For more than ten years, I’ve worked alongside students and families who often feel left out of the process, many of them first-generation, multilingual, or undocumented.

I started Anchored Pathways to College because I believe every family deserves someone they can trust, someone who will explain things with patience and without judgment. Whether you’re learning English, exploring a certificate program, or dreaming about a degree you’re not sure is within reach, I want you to know: you belong in higher education.

My role is to walk with you step by step, so you never have to make this journey alone.

Michelle Gutiérrez, M.S.
