Be a Life Changer

Our mentors are what keeps our mission alive and innovative with their unique approaches tailored to their school community. Our mentors are the real leaders that make a positive change in our youth and communities through cultivating special relationships with their students and create their own family community. We love our mentors because they keep our youth creating, developing their musical and social- emotional skills, and developing their professionalism to prepare them for life post high school. Most importantly, they provide a safe and nurturing environment where our students can freely express themselves and create a home where they feel comfortable and consistency in their growth.
