Can one hour per week really make a difference?

Outcomes last school year proved it.

In 2025–2026:

• 83% of mentored youth got into less trouble at school (vs. the goal of 40%)
• 65% improved their attendance (vs. the goal of 35%)
• 57% improved their grades (vs. the goal of 35%)

And mentees said stuff like:

• “Mentoring is the best thing I’ve ever had in life.”
• “Mentoring is the only reason I want to go to school.”
• “Mentoring helps me be happy.”

Stay tuned for the forthcoming annual report that will cover outcomes across the whole program!

In the meantime, good luck as mentoring kicks off for the 2026–2027 school year. Remember, it’s about building a relationship of respect, care, and support that meets your mentee where they are.

Thanks for being part of the team. We adore you!
