Mentorship Program Graduation: A Celebration of Growth

📅 January 15, 2026 ✍️ Vital Reach Team

In January, we celebrated the graduation of 25 young people from our intensive six-month mentorship program. These individuals, aged 15 to 22, were paired with experienced mentors who guided them through career exploration, financial literacy, college preparation, and personal growth workshops.

"My mentor didn't just help me with schoolwork — she helped me believe in myself," shared one graduate. The program culminated in a capstone project where each mentee presented a community service proposal.

Applications for the next cohort open in April 2026. If you're a young person looking for guidance or a professional willing to mentor, we'd love to hear from you.
