Mission and programs · 2025

• MTB employs a near-peer mentoring approach to address the challenges first-generation, low-income students face in accessing and succeeding in higher education. Working with underrepresented students in Passaic and Plainfield, NJ, the organization matches high school students with near-peer mentors - high school graduates from their communities who are currently enrolled in a range of institutions. The college student Leaders meet weekly with their high school mentees and follow a curriculum of activities focused on personal and professional development, college and financial aid awareness, and communication with families. By supporting students from their junior year of high school through their college years with programming, mentoring, and financial support, MTB positively impacts college matriculation and retention rates, promotes economic mobility, and contributes to community revitalization. In academic year 2025-2026, we expanded our program in Passaic, NJ, to support nineteen (19) college student Leaders and thirty-seven (37) high school students (24 juniors and 13 seniors). Two Program Resource Fellows assisted with problem-solving and program retention. MTB signed an MOA with the Plainfield Public Schools in September 2025 and is actively recruiting students for the program.

Officers and directors · 2025

As listed in Part VII of the 2025 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all.
