The College Bound Today program uses a unique team-mentoring system to help predominantly low-income, first-generation college-going students of color achieve unprecedented college admission and attendance successes. Since 2011, 581 of 584 College Bound Today graduates (99.5%) either have attended or will soon attend college. 503 of College Bound Today alumni students (86.1%) have or will soon attend 4-year colleges, including UC’s, CSU’s, and many private colleges and universities. More than 250 community-based volunteers from many different walks of life have served as mentors to college bound students since 2009.
