“You get a friend and a person to support you and stand by you and laugh with you till you graduate.”
This simple but powerful statement from a 5th grade mentee captures what mentoring is all about.
A mentor is someone who listens, encourages, and shows up consistently. Through every challenge, success, and milestone, mentors help students feel supported and valued.
Relationships like these are changing lives every day, and it all starts with one caring adult choosing to be there.

High school graduation is a huge milestone, but it’s not the end of the journey.
Through our Post-Secondary Program, mentors continue supporting students as they navigate college, trade school, careers, and life after high school. That continued encouragement and connection can make all the difference during a season filled with change and new challenges.
We’re currently looking for post-secondary mentors willing to walk alongside students in this next chapter.
