What can the After School Mentoring Program Achieve?

Students who are mentored set their own goals that can lead to higher achievement, better performance, self-efficacy and self regulation.

Help Students identify strong, positive character traits within themselves.

Helps students cope with the highs and lows of life and respond to the stress in a healthy manner.

“A mentor is someone who allows you to see the higher part of yourself when sometimes it becomes hidden to your own view…..I don’t think anybody makes it in the world without some form of mentorship.  Nobody makes it alone, and we are all mentors to people when we don’t know it” – Oprah Winfrey
