Every year, SMART supports their Scholars and families to navigate private school applications. A crucial part of the admissions process includes completing financial aid forms. SMART is looking for volunteers who are able to participate. Folks who speak Spanish, Cantonese, and/or Vietnamese are especially encouraged to sign up. Volunteers will be able to provide our families with clarity, and support, and empower them to complete the application process with confidence.

4. Middle School Achievement Program: A twice-weekly after-school program equipping our Scholars with the skills to succeed in academically rigorous schools and in life through tutoring, mentoring, and a curriculum designed to bolster them academically and social-emotionally.
