Our Approach
Our approach is peer mentor-led. This means the volunteers are young adults, including local medical and undergraduate students. We strive to be genuine, non-judgmental, and understanding of all walks of life. By utilizing peer mentors, our high school students can feel there is someone they can relate to and look up to as role models.
Our Hope
Our hope lies in our future generation — those who have been systematically exploited and who are the definition of strength and resilience. We believe in investing in our youth so that they may thrive, and not only survive. We believe in the laughter, curiosity, and authenticity of our youth.
We Are Volunteer Based
This organization is a testament to the love and care from our student volunteers, organization leaders, and founder. We do not generate income from this work, but in fact dedicate our time and passion because we believe in investing in our young people and the local community. We believe in helping one another. We believe in collective growth and healing.
Our Mission
Our mission is twofold:
To strengthen and sustain a long-term, collaborative relationship between the local high school and nearby educational institutions.
To provide mental wellness education for our youth.
