Our mission

To develop and implement programs that prepare underserved students for educational opportunities that lead to college success.
Opportunities

Steppingstone S.M.A.S.H.

Offered every Saturday throughout the academic year, SMASH is a two-hour study hall where Scholars can work independently, collaborate with other students, and receive one-on-one tutoring. Volunteers support Scholars by serving as tutors and mentors, and these meaningful relationships help students gain confidence, build their academic skills, and stay on track for college.

Alumni Advisors

Are you a Steppingstone Alum who wants to support younger Scholars? If so, we’d love to hear from you! Steppingstone is always looking for volunteers to mentor Scholars who have graduated from high school. These Alumni support students by looking over resumes, discussing career paths, helping with graduate school applications, finding scholarships, and more.
