Providing Students with the Support to Thrive
SPEF’s High School Mentoring Program is dedicated to providing students with the resources and guidance they need to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. With a focus on college and career readiness, SPEF utilizes strategic partnerships with college, community, and corporate volunteers to provide students with one-on-one and group mentoring sessions led by trained mentors. Students and mentors focus on setting and achieving goals, enhancing academic standing, engaging in positive after-school activities, and preparing for post-secondary success.
In addition to meeting with mentors, students have the opportunity to meet with a SPEF Program Coordinator twice a month. The Coordinator offers case management, identifying individual needs and connecting students to additional resources as needed:
- Social-emotional (professional counseling),
- Academic (tutoring),
- Enrichment (coordinate outside-of-school activities with scholarships as needed),
- Family engagement (resource connections)
