Mentorship for Teens in Grades 7–12, Tailored to Their Strengths, Goals, and Next Steps
Grades 7–9 Small Group Mentorship & Grades 10–12 1:1 Mentorship
Through personalized mentorship experiences, young people have dedicated space to explore the things that matter at school, at home, and far beyond the classroom.
Our programs are designed differently for different stages of adolescence. From small-group mentorship for younger teens to personalized one-on-one mentorship for older teens preparing for what comes next.
“They Should Teach This in School.”
We hear it all the time. They should teach kids how to make decisions. Manage money. Build credit. Set boundaries. Think critically. Explore careers. Handle setbacks. Stay organized. Communicate clearly. Understand yourself. Plan for the future. Advocate for themselves.
These skills matter, but they don’t always fit neatly into a class, worksheet or report card. In busy classrooms, educators can’t always address every student’s individual needs. Many of these skills develop through conversation, experience, reflection and practice in a setting intentionally created for that purpose.
We partner with parents and guardians because meaningful progress doesn’t happen in isolation. Families help us understand the bigger picture, reinforce helpful strategies and recognize growth.
