A mentoring program geared towards helping high school students (juniors and seniors) prepare for college and life after. Fostering positive and robust relationships are our priority, as we believe that the better we know the students, the better we can service them. To achieve this, we follow a 1:1 ratio; each adult is strategically paired with a mentee to discuss measurable goals, assist with the college application process, and to provide advice and expertise on career choices. *Due to Covid, all meetings currently take place virtually.
