AVID is a program designed to overcome the ethnic and economic underrepresentation of the student population eligible for admission to the University of California and California State University systems. A four year program is offered to selected students focusing on academic and social preparation skills including: study skills; "coping" strategies; career awareness; portfolio development; writing skills in many content areas; critical thinking; problem-solving; note-taking; use of time; cultural awareness; use of the library; and citizenship/attendance. Students receive tutorial assistance and other support services to assist them in meeting requirements for college admittance.
