“After Only 6 Weeks With My Mentor I Am Now On Track To Graduate With My Class.”
Cheyenne never knew her dad and her relationship with her mom was in a downward spiral. Hanging out with the wrong kinds of people, skipping curfew, and getting picked up by the police all were leading her down the wrong path. She was planning on dropping out but with her mentor’s care and interest she got back on track to graduate with her class.
At Be The One, we understand the many unique challenges our youth face today. Through mentorship, students are connected with an adult that matches their interests and personality. For one hour a week students meet with their mentor at school in a safe and positive environment. Be The One removes the financial burden of the program from the school by raising community support to fund a full time Mentor Coordinator position who is an employee of the school. Be The One also helps by attracting mentors and training them to effectively connect with students.
