About Us:  

     Kalos Academy is a non-profit education start-up, fostering the leadership and professional development of all of its volunteers.

We achieve this by mentoring first-generation and low-income college students, teaching them the “hidden curriculum” of college success and supporting their persistence towards their degree.
