Mission: College Track began two decades ago with the identification of a growing need: while advising high school seniors from East Palo Alto about college admission, our co-founders realized low-income and first generation college students faced the labyrinthine world of higher education with little or no guidance about how to achieve the goal of earning a four-year college degree.

College Track's comprehensive 10-year program empowers students from ninth grade through college graduation, equipping students to unlock their potential through academic, financial, and social supports including one-on-one mentoring, experiential and service learning, financial aid and college admissions coaching, access to scholarships, and advising through college graduation. Together, these components make a powerful, comprehensive program that empowers students to achieve their dream of a college education.

College Track is a 501(c)(3) organization, with an IRS ruling year of 1997, and donations are tax-deductible.
