Business mentors-
Teens are matched with business leaders in the field that the teen is interested in pursuing in the future.
-
This allows the teen to experience the career, ask questions, and see someone in action.
-
Ensures this is the correct career path for the student.
-
Increases excitement about career path.
-
3 Month time frame, during which there will be 1 face to face / shadow monthly and 1 phone / zoom call weekly for a minimum of 15 minutes.

1 on 1 mentors – Teens are mentored by someone who has been there. Like having a big sister or big brother. The only difference is they have been where you are and felt what you’re going through so the teen can relate to them.
-
Based on the availability of the teen and the mentor.
-
It is the hope that as teens finish the program that they will pay it forward and come back to be mentors to those just starting.
