About Our Organization: 

​

UtmostU is a comprehensive program aimed at supporting young adults (fellows) who have been adversely affected by systemic inequities. Our mission is to support these individuals in achieving their post-secondary education and career aspirations, with the long-term goal of reducing the racial and ethnic wealth gap.

 

To address the unique challenges faced by our fellows, UtmostU is committed to providing them with the necessary support and guidance for success. Through our extensive network of coaches in schools and community-based organizations who have existing relationships with their fellows, we offer a wide range of tools, partnerships, resources, and efficiencies that strengthen organizational capacity to help more young adults reach their goals.
