School Based Mentoring is an international volunteer phenomenon that has helped thousands of students across the world. School Based Mentors are top students and professionals that dedicate an "hour to empower" the youth by providing  one-on-one homework support to struggling CPS students while also engaging them in academic enrichment activites one day per week for a full school year!

The goal of the program is to help improve grades & attendance, build self-confidence, and exposure to different cultural& academically enriching activities.  What are the results?
