Our mentoring program allows committed and caring adults to share breakfast or lunch with a student weekly. Mentors build a relationship with students while helping them navigate wise choices and encouraging them to be their best selves.
We ask all mentors to commit to meeting with their student for either breakfast or lunch each week for the remainder of the school year.Â
We have partnered with Mentor Upstate to coordinate the mentor program.
