NICE TO MEET YOU
I'm Jonathan Medina "America's #1 School Motivator"
I'm a product of GEAR UP. GEAR UP gave me a vision of going to college. My HS counselor told me I could not go to a top college because...
❌ 1st Gen
❌ Migrant & Homeless
❌ Low income
GEAR UP gave me the Confidence, Self Belief, & Skills I needed to overcome my circumstances. The results...
✅ 1st in Family to go to College (Georgetown University)
✅ Nearly 1 Million Dollars raised to help 1st gen students
✅ #1 Best Selling Author
✅ Over 1 Million Students & Parents Impacted
Now I use what I've learned to help GEAR UP students just like me find confidence, self belief, & skills. We have partnered with over 2,000 schools nationwide and we want to partner with you to help your GEAR UP Families DREAM BIG!
I even met my wife at GEAR UP National Conference & We have the unofficial GEAR UP Baby. DREAM BIG!
