With the generous support of our community in 2025, nearly 200 mentors showed up weekly for young people across Be A Mentor programs, building consistent, one-on-one relationships that create trust and lasting connection. Through this work, we expanded access social-emotional support, parent engagement, leadership development, and community-based experiences that strengthen both students and families.

By becoming a sponsor for our 2026 event, you help continue and grow this work for the children who need it most.

With your support, we can empower, educate, and raise the next generation of leaders.
