Inspire, Equip, and Encourage the Next Generation

MENtorUP is a Saturday mentoring program designed to connect middle and high school young men with positive male role models who can guide, encourage, and inspire them.

Through group discussions, life skills sessions, and shared experiences, mentors help young men develop character, confidence, and a vision for their future. Our sessions include practical topics such as responsibility, leadership, career readiness, and healthy relationships—paired with fun activities like sports, field trips, college trips, retreats, and community service projects.

By showing up consistently, mentors build trust and provide the encouragement these young men need to navigate school, relationships, and life beyond the classroom.
