The Branches Program facilitates academic programming and community mentorships  for under-represented youth with the goal to  motivate and empower youth to  enroll in postsecondary education by reducing barriers and increasing  access to higher education.  
They build relationships with under-represented communities, collaborating to develop activities that support  young students with their studies and enhance their  awareness of  post-secondary educational  opportunities. In parallel, the outreach programming creates and enhances pathways for the recruitment and admission  of underrepresented students at ɬÀï·¬.  Branches partner with families and communities, providing supports for academic success that extend beyond the walls of ɬÀï·¬ — including tailored mentorship and one-on-one interactions with students, staff and faculty.
