"It has helped me raise my grades, get through personal problems and communicate with people I care about."
Tiffany, Sealth High School
Mentors and students meet weekly throughout the school year. The program consists of a rotation of program activities:
- Workshops
- Large group activities
- Match time with mentor/student
- Training and coaching for mentors
Workshops are designed to reinforce and expand the learning that began at the launch courses.
Each workshop includes an opportunity for students and mentors to acknowledge each other and take responsibility for their actions and behaviors.
