Hi! My name is Daysia Charles, and I'm currently a frosh at Dartmouth college who aspires to be an environmental engineer. I founded SuccessBaseMass after searching for my own extracurricular opportunities, and quickly realizing the large opportunity gap that exists at the detriment of low income students and students of color. I wanted to find a way to make opportunities more accessible to underserved students.

As a director, I help in leading the growth and development of the organization

Hey! My name is Eva and I'm an undergraduate business student at Babson College. I am a first-generation college student from a low-income household, and experienced first-hand the lack of equity and accessibility of resources for students like me during high school and the college application process. I joined SuccessBaseMass to be apart of the fight against this social injustice. Here at SBM, I oversee the operations and development of the organization, and actively help it to expand to be able to connect more students with resources during their high school careers and college application process.
