The MESA (Math, Engineering, Science, Achievement) Program provides support and resources STEM students need to successfully graduate and transfer to a four-year institution. Students who participate in the program are more likely to transfer to colleges or universities and major in technical fields. Our mission is to help underserved and underrepresented students achieve success in STEM studies and careers; our vision is to see California’s STEM workforce reflect the diversity of its population.
