Shaping Future Leaders
Mentors come alongside students as positive role models to build intentional relationships, offer encouragement and wisdom, and support Urban University educational experiences.
Did you know that youth who have mentors in their lives are more likely to:
- Have a better attitude both at home and at school
- Make healthier relationship and lifestyle choices
- Have improved interpersonal skills
- Have an enhanced self-esteem
- Have improved academic performance
- Avoid substance use, violence, and other risk behaviors
