MOSTE has a mission of helping underserved girls fulfill their dream of attending college while firmly believing change happens at the individual level – with one girl at a time.

MOSTE recognizes the importance of offsetting the negative pressures that begin early in the lives of young girls and creating a “college-going” culture. From 7th grade through high school, MOSTE utilizes programs that combine personal growth with academic skill-building as the key to breaking the cycle of gang involvement, reducing teen pregnancy rates, preventing substance abuse and reducing dropout rates.
