During students’ sophomore through senior years of high school, they participate in Saturday sessions with their mentors, SAT test preparation and writing instruction, and attend fully-funded academic and leadership summer programs. Ultimately mentees are supported in applying to colleges, scholarships, and completing financial aid processes.
