We currently have over 200 mentors from all walks of life who go into our schools for one hour every week and provide our students with a one-on-one relationship that builds their self esteem, reawakens their drive to achieve, provides a positive role model and rekindles hope. We are always in need of new mentors, especially male mentors.
