what we do
Partnership & Community
Our mentor team engages students in one-on-one coaching sessions to co-create and work toward individual student goals. Mentors partner with families to encourage authentic family participation and extend services into the community, connecting students with the resources they need. Our team members serve as liaisons between parents, students, community, and school in promoting mentees’ success.
Social & Emotional Learning
We work shoulder-to-shoulder with students to understand their stress responses and develop coping mechanisms. Youth engagement activities help students connect with one another as they collaboratively identify strengths, develop agency, and contribute to community.
Civic Training
Career and civic readiness coaching builds on the foundations of the mentoring relationship and focuses specifically on career pathways, transferable skills, and soft skills. Civic Training helps students develop strong habits as they discover and work toward their "why."
