Johnnie Savoy, President and CEO of College Bound California
Johnnie Savoy, along with her husband Andy, were struggling with how to prepare their son for college, when the idea for College Bound California was born. Since its founding in 1990, the organization has helped more than 750 students prepare for admission into and success during college, through programs and services including test prep, academic reviews, summer enrichment opportunities, and career awareness programs.
