MTB Internship Opportunities

Founded by educators who understand the significant obstacles that first-generation college students face on their journey into and through higher education. To succeed, they need More Than Bootstraps.
VISION: A world in which every young person has access to and support for success in higher education.
MISSION STATEMENT: More Than Bootstraps builds a community of first-generation, underrepresented students who empower each other to access and succeed in higher education.
The MTB strategy for creating a scalable community of success is based on four components: near-peer mentorship, financial assistance in the form of stipend support for program participants, family engagement, and wellness and self-care.
