You can help us continue our mission to empower students (high school and college) with both the academic and social-emotional skills necessary to succeed in college and beyond. where we will be honoring and proudly recognizing the achievements and contributions of our mentees and community leaders. Event proceeds will benefit the MentorU Program/Activities as well as the Scholarship Fund.

Continuing the success of our 1st Book, the additional proceeds will help fund our next anthology book showcasing personal anecdotes from our very own Mentors and Mentees. The book will be launched in Fall 2024 and offer the opportunity for 25 young mentors and mentees to share their incredible stories. The goal of the book is to help those who feel invisible to become visible, recognize that they matter and that their stories make a difference.
