Minds Matter Bay Area (MMBay) is an education nonprofit focused on providing high-achieving, low-income students in San Francisco with three years of FREE college prep resources and access to pre-college summer programs. They also provide dedicated mentors and test-prep instructors who want to help them get into top colleges in the US.
Their applications are open!

They'll go over a little more about the program and attendees will also get to hear from a current mentee and get all of their questions answered! The link to register for that info session is here.
