The LOT program is an integrated system of workshops, activities, and events designed to equip minority high-school students with the skills and tools required to be successful in their collegiate endeavors and beyond.

LOT Austin believes in the power of knowledge transfer and is committed to fostering growth of intellectual capital within our minority youth communities through exposure and education. As a LOT Mentor, you will have the ability to network and collaborate with other like-minded professionals to guide students through a challenging curriculum designed to improve academic and leadership skills, ensure college preparedness, build confidence and self-esteem, increase business acumen, and encourage professional development.
