It all begins with an idea. The idea that most students in the Bay area in California weren’t able to connect with programs outside of college fairs or gap year fairs. What about all the other opportunities that students weren’t being exposed to? That needed to change.

College Alternatives

Providing out-of-the-box options for high school students and young adults

  • Who We Are

    Adrienne Frumberg, MA and Shayna Abraham, MA, CEP are friends and colleagues on a joint mission to help educated high school students and young adults about the wide range of options available to them post high school.

  • What We Do

    We can research therapeutic resources, recommend therapeutic gap year placements, and assist during adulthood transitions. Regardless of the level of support you are looking for, we can help. It is that simple. Educate us on what’s going on. We can consult to ensure we are providing your family with the most accurate and appropriate resources or placement recommendations. When you want us there alongside you, we can follow along with your progress to ensure there are no significant concerns. We want your young adult to be launching or re-launching back into adult life!

  • The ALT Fair

    In the spring and in the fall Shayna and Adrienne put on the ALT Fair. This event is designed for families to meet and learn about the wide range of post secondary options that exist. The fair hosts wellness gap programs, young adult transitional living programs, college support programs, vocational support programs and more.
