How it works
Our program has a unique way of pairing mentors and students. To sign up, both mentors and parents must fill out a survey. We then look at your selected preferences in various different categories and find the perfect match.
​
We are proud of the innovative and supportive high schoolers that have risen to the occasion. Our mentors all have individualized plans for their buddies and aim to create long-lasting and meaningful connections.
​
Our goals are: to support parents and teachers, build new and useful connections, educate and entertain younger children and provide volunteer opportunities for high schoolers.

Testimonials
​
Here are some just a few of our many program participant comments :)
Excellent. Mentor has been great. Good Social connection for our son, and allows him to be taught from someone other than Mom/Dad right now which is good for everyone. I was really impressed with how on top of it our High Schooler was - he reached out immediately, is timely and really patient with our son.
Linda-Parent
I've only received positive feedback. And, my daughter's experience has exceeded expectations. This program serves to not only provide mentorship during an otherwise difficult time academically for many students (my daughter is a social learner and struggles with sitting in front of her computer doing work on her own without regular interaction with her peers, she loves her time with her mentor) but also serves to build community
Suzie- Parent
I am a Junior in high school and this program has allowed for a great, stress-free way to earn volunteer hours and meet amazing new people. I have bonded with the two students I mentor. We have already planned to continue our meetings into the summer!
