  • Weekly meetings are activity-based and led by extensively trained mentors aged twenty-one or older.
  • Mentors offer support and advocacy while serving as positive role models to program participants, ages 11-21, known as mentees.
  • Advised by HNP, mentors carefully select activities that encourage forward-thinking, self-empowerment, and prosocial skills.
