Benefits of Mentoring
Providing a mentor for your child can greatly enhance their prospects for success. Among the 1,001 children participating in our programs, 82% are living in poverty, while 47% are from single-parent homes.
The presence of a mentor significantly helps young adults facing opportunity gaps, with 55% more likely to enroll in college. Academically, mentored youth generally have a more positive outlook on school, show improved attendance and are more inclined toward pursuing higher education. In fact, as many as 93% of our Littles were reported to have increased social competence and 94% maintained or even improved educational aspirations.
Mentorships are instrumental in not only helping children improve educational ambition, but also navigate their future careers and personal relationships. In essence, our Big Brothers and Sisters help pave the way for a better future for your child!
