  • We have found this organization to have a serious commitment to providing the best quality services possible to youth and to achieving an extraordinarily high degree of success in retaining mentors.

  • It’s not about speed, it’s not about the numbers; they’re not filling quotas about how many matches they have to make this month. This is not a commodity. This is a program that deals with people’s lives.

  • I attended your workshop earlier this year at the National Mentoring Summit. I was blown away by your teaching style and training materials. Thank you both for your time.

    Adrian, Age 16

I connect very well with her and she is amazing. I wouldn’t be where I am, especially in school, because of my mentor. My self-esteem has turned around and I’m now motivated.

Jasmine,  Age 16

We had connected in a way that maybe neither one of us were fully aware of. But, it was clear, that I had an impact on him. That was rewarding. One of their mottos is: The Life You Change May Be Your Own... Be prepared for that.
