Mentoring
Be A Champion Mentor ProgramThe "Be A Champion" Mentor Program matches 4th-8th grade students with a caring adult who will serve as a child's mentor and companion.
The impact of this relationship with an adult committed to their well-being and the opportunity to build a connection has been shown to positively impact a child's educational experience and their future.
In addition, mentors routinely report that serving in this meaningful way enriches their lives as well.
Show me a successful individual and I’ll show you someone who had real positive influences in his or her life. I don’t care what you do for a living — if you do it well I’m sure there was someone cheering you on or showing the way. A mentor.

Mentor Commitment
When you become a mentor, you make a special commitment to building a relationship with your assigned mentee, and we are here to support you along this journey.
Mentors meet in-person with their assigned mentee one hour each week at the student's school building. You'll work with our Student Services team to find a time that works in your schedule.
Our goal is to match a mentor's interests with a child who would benefit from their time together. Many of our mentors engage their mentee in games, crafts, or other activities.
How to Become a Mentor
We are always looking for caring adults to be paired with students. Here's how the process works:
