The mission

What this organization describes

Empowering students from underserved communities to reach their dreams of a college degree

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.
