About SMILE

Project SMILE, founded in 1999, is a division of the Asian American Association (AAA) at UC Berkeley. SMILE stands for Spreading Multiculturalism and Inspiring Leadership Through Education. We mentor at Longfellow Middle School in Berkeley, CA. Our mentors are role models for the students and forge strong relationships with them through bi-weekly mentoring and special weekend events.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide mentees and mentors with an opportunity to develop special relationships of respect, trust and support. Through one-on-one match-ups with students from Longfellow Middle School, Project S.M.I.L.E. seeks to promote and instill values such as the appreciation of diversity, leadership abilities, educational awareness, and a proactive sense of community. We hope to enhance the lives of both the mentees and mentors by creating a generation of motivated and inspirational leaders who are academically enlightened and socially adept.
