Description

We are a membership organization, not a "program." We welcome people into a caring community, if they in turn are willing to commit to us (and to themselves), we in turn fully commit to them. Our coaching system embraces, not just the concept of one-to-one mentoring, but also the idea of a coaching support network. We have attracted 80+ volunteers annually representing many backgrounds, professions, and life experiences. Some of the membership experiences include: Game Plan Coaching, Community Service, Tutoring, College Prep and Job Prep. Our 3-year Membership Snapshot (2016-2018) 100% high school graduation rate, 97% "landed with a plan," 91% attended a 4-year or 2-year college, 89% are first generation fo attend college.
