Our program focuses on students who will be attending high school the following year. Students are nominated by school staff and must be open to a mentoring relationship. They are recommended based on their potential for personal growth and academic achievement through the encouragement and guidance of another caring adult in their lives. Students participate in Hope for Tomorrow on a voluntary basis and with parent or guardian permission. Mentors are community – oriented men and women volunteers who bring a variety of life experiences to their mentoring relationships with the students. They are committed to helping young teens realize their potential by empowering them to make their own good choices. Separate girls and boys chapters allow for appropriate gender – specific activities and sharing of common interests and experiences.
