Success Stories

Take Stock in Children mentors come from every walk of life, and each makes the commitment to meet with his or her student for one hour per week on school grounds. With a focus on student success, mentors provide academic coaching, advice, support and, most of all, friendship. Multi-year, one-on-one mentoring is the cornerstone of the Take Stock in Children program and as evidenced by the success of our studens, it pays large-scale dividends.
