The role of a mentor

Our mentors engage with students through one-on-one lessons, building trust over time and giving them responsibility and accountability. Skills that promote preparation for the future, musical theory and vocal technique are critical to every weekly lesson. We have seen improved attendance, higher grades and a positive impact on our student’s general well-being and mental health. Our mentors provide the stability and support that these young people need, in a safe learning environment.

“I love my kids. They’re great and have improved in their reliability and communication!”
