"Children need at least one positive role model in their lives. Children need to learn and be affirmed that they are valued and matter."
You know that kid...That one...
The one whose grades are slipping, the one who can’t participate in extracurricular activities because they’re babysitting their siblings. The one who acts as a translator for their family. The one being raised by their grandparents.
The one who needs just one extra positive adult in their life to give them the one-on-one attention that you’re trying to provide…to so many students. The one who has all the potential but faces so many barriers. Someone came to your mind, didn’t they? We share your concern and passion for them.
We want to partner with you, because together, we can create a support system that holds and builds up that one.
It's Summer!
As educators, you have worked tirelessly all year to support your students. We hope you’re getting a well-deserved summer break!
Consider nominating your students for our mentoring program and we’ll do our best to get them matched with a mentor over the summer.
We don’t need to tell you how pivotal summertime is for kids. Without regular engagement, students can regress in their academic and social skills. It can be a lonely and isolating time. With a mentor, our youth gain access to activities, personal growth opportunities, and camp scholarships. Most importantly, they can have an engaged adult involved over the summer.
Visit our Summer Spark page to see how our mentees enjoy an all-access pass to summer fun!
What Partnership Looks Like
Partnering with us means adding our mentoring program to your list of school resources. We’re committed to convenience and collaboration, offering on-site visits to meet families, conducting mentor trainings, and fostering community connections.
Through our partnership, you gain access to a dedicated community organization that provides engaged mentors invested in uplifting your school’s community.
Moreover, by joining forces with us, your students receive priority placement on our waitlist, ensuring they receive the support they need when they need it most.
Mentoring will help strengthen your school.
We are working on partnering with schools for the 2024-2025 school year, and if your school becomes an official partner, your community will qualify for 5-10 youth to be matched (valued at $25,000).

Mentoring Enhances Education
Mentoring programs positively impact high school graduation rates among youth.
Mentored youth are more likely to graduate from high school compared to their non-mentored peers. The National Mentoring Partnership reports that students who meet regularly with their mentors are 52% less likely to skip a day of school.
Studies show that mentored youth have a significantly higher likelihood of graduating from high school compared to those without a mentor.
