Mission statement

Increase accessibility to college essay reviewing, college application advising, and peer mentorship for

• First-generation and low-income students

• Students who cannot afford private college counseling or SAT prep

• Students working part-time jobs to financially support their families

• Students who experience systemic barriers to pursuing higher education, whether socioeconomic or racial

• Students with other extenuating personal or financial circumstances

Promote culture of collaboration through empathetic advising, with the understanding that individuals’ academic plans are not solely prestige-based and revolve around many other personal, cultural, and economic influences. We believe mentorship should be accessible to everyone and strive to eliminate the barrier of finding connections or networking opportunities that allow for development of peer mentorships.
