Project Mentor

The answer was 31 lunches.

Once you account for holidays, testing days, field trips, weather closures, and other school events, a mentor and student typically share about 31 lunches during a school year.

That may not sound like much.

But 31 lunches mean 31 opportunities to connect.

31 opportunities to listen.

31 opportunities to encourage.

31 opportunities to celebrate successes, navigate challenges, and simply show up.

At Project Mentor, we know meaningful connection can make a lasting difference in a student’s life. One lunch at a time. ❤️

Another Project Mentor school year is officially in the books! Today was our last day on campus, and we’re ending the year so grateful for every lunch shared, every conversation had, and every connection built along the way.

Now it’s time for summer ☀️ Thanks for following along with us this year…we’ll still be around on social media, but for now, school’s out!

Happy Birthday, Rachel!!!! Thank you for all you do for Project Mentor! Thank you for keeping us organized, focused and on track! We hope you have a wonderful day! 🎉🎂🥳🎈🎊🎁

What a special way to wrap up another year of Project Mentor. 💚

From scholarships and senior letters to shared stories and laughter around the tables, today was a celebration of the relationships that make this program so meaningful. We’re incredibly grateful for our mentors, students, and supporters who made this year one to remember.

Now on to graduation! 🎓
