About Dr. Klyne
Dr. Klyne Smith has dedicated over 30 years to helping students to fulfill their highest potential when transitioning from high school to college by starting with the college application process, then to an internship that helps shake up students’ careers. He recently started the non-profit organization, Your Next Steps-US, focusing on guiding youth to lead a passion-driven life by transforming their passions into education and career while defining their meaning of success. Through the College Bound initiative, Education Unbound provides an abundance of resources in the form of people, processes, and funding to reach often under-resourced students as they start navigating their college application process. Along with Education Unbound, Dr. Smith works with many other non-profit organizations mentoring students and young adults, STEM training, and life coaching.
