Mentorship Stories
10th Grade Mentee
Angie
The HEROES program helped me learn the different requirements that come when applying to specific colleges and studying a certain degree. It gave me great resources and tools to start planning for my post-secondary plan. Ultimately, the HEROES program helped me realize that I’m not alone and that regardless of what I do in High School, I will be okay because there were so many great people like our mentees who went through everything we’re going through, even the mistakes, and got to great places in their lives after navigating through High School.
Program Model
Student Success
All of our programs were created with the same intent: to promote continuous success amongst our scholars.
Career Oriented
Our programs support students through career exploration, leadership development, and becoming college and career ready.
Remote Access
Students are able to enjoy the programs and services we offer at the comfort of their own home. This also allows our educators and mentors the opportunity to join the program regardless of location.
Social Emotional
Students are cared for and checked in on throughout the duration of the program. It Is important to us to foster social and emotional development to allow our students to grow into their autonomous selves
Student Centered
The curriculum our educators and mentors create will always be focused on our students' best interest and will encourage them to maximize their potential.
Life Skills
While focusing on career exploration, we also take time to think about life topics such as time management, how to establish social relationships and connections, how to transition from high school to college, etc.
