Our Mission Statement

EAOP's mission is to assist under resourced K - 12 schools by helping their students prepare for postsecondary education, pursue graduate and professional school opportunities, and achieve success in the workplace.

To achieve this goal EAOP works with K-12 students, their parents, school representatives and community members to design, implement and evaluate programs and services that foster students’ academic development to make them admissible to the post-secondary institution of their choice (UC, CSU, and CCC).
