The Mentorship Program's Mission

The Mentorship Program works to improve career, college, and military service readiness skills for high school seniors transitioning into these settings by supporting their academic achievement, self-esteem, and social competence. Our Board of Directors and Education Partners serve to assist graduating seniors in developing their character, social responsibilities, and their transition into life after high school.
