About

The Uplift Initiative, a nonprofit run by students, pairs UCLA mentors one-on-one with students at Los Angeles Title I high schools, including Manual Arts, Fremont and Helen Bernstein, according to a 2024 Daily Bruin report. Mentors are matched by shared interests or goals such as pre-med and talk through the college application process, alternative routes like community college transfer, personal insight question essays and federal financial aid forms.
