Become A Mentor. Make a Difference.
Most mentoring programs are available for younger children, but there are limited options for high school students at a critical time in their lives as they prepare to launch into adulthood. Your mentorship can make a significant difference!
The mentoring program at CAST Schools is designed to support and empower students through meaningful, personalized guidance. We recognize the critical importance of having a dedicated, caring adult who can provide support beyond traditional educational settings. Our mentors work closely with students to help them navigate complex life decisions, offering wisdom and perspective that can shape their future trajectories.
With your generous grant, we are able to connect more students with mentors.
