Overview

Mission

To cultivate and foster mentoring relationships to young adults from under resourced communities. With the support of in-person, one-to-one mentoring and group cohort meetings, young people can perservere and achieve their post secondary educational, career and personal aspirations.

What it reported doing in 2024

The organization recruited and trained 18 volunteer mentors who were each matched with a young adult mentee. Mentors met in-person with their mentees at least once a month to support and encourage their post-secondary educational pursuits in addition to their career and personal aspirations. Mentors and mentees also participated in monthly group cohort meetings that covered personal finance, career expoloration/readiness, interpersonal skills and other topics relevant to young adults.
