Who we are
Call Me Success is a student-led, nationwide nonprofit organization dedicated to uplifting low-income and first-generation students through free, high-impact college application mentoring. Founded on the belief that zip codes should never define opportunity, we connect students with trained volunteer counselors who provide personalized support through every step of the college admissions journey, from choosing schools to writing essays to applying for financial aid. The Call Me Success name and its logos and slogans are trademarked under the Call Me Success organization.
