Due to the ages of the students in our program, mentor candidates must be at least 25 years old.

Mission Statement
Students Rising Above invests in low-income, first-generation college students who have demonstrated a deep commitment to education and strength of character while overcoming tremendous odds of poverty, homelessness, and neglect. We help students to realize their potential by guiding and supporting them from high school, through college graduation, and into the workforce. Our graduates are breaking the cycle of poverty within their own families, serving their communities, providing a new generation of employees and leaders from diverse backgrounds, and accelerating positive change. The SRA Community is dedicated to impacting the future through the cultivation of extraordinary youth.
