  • Organization Description:

    Collaborating with teachers and administrators, students are recommended to the program and matched with a mentor. These are students that teachers recognize as having high potential who may be lacking the support of a consistent adult role model to help them reach graduation and beyond, to the fulfillment of their dreams. Matches are based on gender and similar passions and interests and whenever possible, similar background and culture.

All Programs

Our organization targets high potential, under resourced students to provide them with a mentor and onsite academic support and leadership training. Our goal is to help them graduate from high school and continuing to a post secondary education or military service.

Mentor

Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter. We pair 8th-12th graders with a 1:1 mentor from our community. Mentors commit to seeing their mentee 1-2 hours per month for at least 1 year. Matches are made based on interests, personalities, careers, hobbies, etc. to ensure a good fit. We provide support and training.
