Mission Statement
At MOSTe, our mission is to mentor and empower girls from underserved areas of Los Angeles County to become the next generation of college-educated women. Our vision is to develop women who are confident, career-focused agents of social change.
About This Cause
We serve young women from seventh grade through college graduation with ongoing programming interventions to achieve our mission. We offer workshops, mentorship from professional women in the community, career exploration, career fairs, college visits, financial aid and college counseling, and social emotional development programming, tailored for the different age groups that we support. In addition to programming that helps students succeed academically, access new career opportunities, and sustainably finance their educations, we also employ a supportive approach that helps students develop perseverance and grit, confidence, leadership, articulated personal values, and a network of caring mentors—all supports designed to set them up for success. As an organization, our primary goal is to get 100% of MOSTe participants to and through college with significant financial support. Our target outcome is for more than 75% of our students to complete a college education within 4-6 years. Despite the many challenges posed by the pandemic, we’re pleased to share that 100% of our 2020 and 2021 high school graduates are enrolled in college with substantial financial aid. We have served over 2,000 girls through our comprehensive college and career access programs since our founding in 1986. We’re proud to report that more than 76% of the students who have gone through our programs since 2009 graduated college within 4-6 years, while 21% are still persisting. Per Pell data, only 11% of students in from the same demographics graduate within that timeframe. Overall, our program model aims to address not only the financial and academic barriers that can prevent our students from succeeding in higher education, but also less-visible barriers to higher paying careers. In addition to programming that helps students succeed academically, access new career opportunities, and sustainably finance their educations, we also employ a supportive approach that helps students develop perseverance and grit, confidence, leadership, articulated personal values, and a network of caring mentors.
