Many private schools often have large and connected alumni networks, but other schools rarely have these resources. Our mentoring program helps keep alumni involved with the school community and builds connections that help prepare students for their careers as well as giving them someone to guide them through the difficult parts of their school experience. We match participating alumni with students who have similar interests or career aspirations. We’ve found that alumni feel more connected to their school communities and students have an extra piece to add to their support network when these connections are forged.
