Young Man and Mentor looking at plans In San Antonio only one in four adults has a bachelor's degree. Nearly 160,000 students are considered at-risk and unlikely to graduate from high school. Be part of the solution: sign your company up for a mentoring program that puts middle and high school youth on a path to college and careers. In the Mentoring Matters program, students travel once a month to the job to have lunch with a mentor, and work together to determine how the student can achieve his or her dream career.
Be a mentor and shine a light on a path toward higher education, helping a child succeed in life. - Mayor Julián Castro
Mentoring Matters is a mentoring program designed to connect youth to careers, beginning as early as seventh grade and continuing through high school, designed so the mentor can serve as an adult sounding board for a student’s career exploration and college application.
