About Huckleberry ACE (Access to College Equity) Academy

The Huckleberry ACE Academy is a college and career access program located in Marin County that prepares first generation college students for post-secondary education. Youth join the program in their sophomore year of high school and continue in the program through their first year of college.

Program Components Include:

  • Internship placements
  • Academic guidance and tutoring
  • SAT/ACT preparation
  • College tours
  • Academic case management
  • Assistance with college applications, as well as scholarship and financial aid applications
  • Parent education and support


Internships and Career Development

Career exploration and exposure are woven into every year of Huckleberry ACE. In addition to meeting a wide variety of professionals during group workshops and field trips, Huckleberry ACE provides each student with an internship opportunity in a field of their interest. Through Huckleberry’s strong partnerships with Bay Area clinics, hospitals, and growing partnerships in other sectors, Huckleberry ACE matches each student with a high quality placement.

Internship sites have included: Aging Parents, Balboa Teen Health Center, Brain Injury Network of the Bay Area, Center for Domestic Peace, Center for Young Women’s Development, Ceres/Whistlestop, the Clincal Lab Department at UCSF Medical Center, Lift/LEVANTATE, Third Street Youth Clinic, Valencia Health Services, Marin Community Clinic, Kaiser Permanente’s KP LAUNCH Program, and Marin General Hospital.

College Tours

Exposing youth to a wide range of post-secondary education options is a big component of Huckleberry ACE. Students are taken on field trips to a variety of college campuses to give them a glimpse of what life in college may be like. They also take part in hands-on activities while on the tours. Oftentimes, the college tour guides are Huckleberry ACE alumni!

"In 2019, the American Academy of Pediatrics issued a report noting that “mental health disorders have surpassed physical conditions” as the most common issues causing “impairment and limitation” among adolescents. In December, the U.S. Surgeon General, in a rare public advisory, warned of a “devastating” mental health crisis among American teens."
