Mentors noticed "Nervous and very reserved at the start of the 2024 program. As the weekly mentoring sessions progressed, my mentee’s level of confidence and communication skills started to improve significantly. His graduation speech reflected self confidence and his appreciation of the program."
Schools noticed "I have noticed an improvement in the students' confidence overall, as well as peer connections. As a side note, our school is hoping to run a peer mentoring program this term and has asked for students to complete a sign up sheet. Two-thirds of our Raise Students volunteered, with most making reference to Raise Mentoring and how it helped improve their confidence."
Parents noticed "More confident and seems
to understand the value of attending and participating in school. Also got a more thorough understanding that life isn't a straight path and it's okay to explore other directions and try new things. I feel that he's more resilient,
more open and better able to communicate what he's feeling and struggling with."
