🌱 1. Reduce Absenteeism Across Montgomery County
Absenteeism is the greatest barrier to student success.
Our goal is to:
Provide transportation support for students who have no reliable way to get to school

We aim to:
Train and support 100+ mentors
Place mentors in schools, churches, and community spaces
Provide ongoing training rooted in trauma‑informed care, youth development, and relationship‑centered support
Mentors will become the steady presence students rely on for guidance, encouragement, and hope.

Our vision includes:
Daily tutoring support
Small‑group academic help
Confidence‑building skill development
Support for students transitioning back after long absences
We want every student to feel capable, supported, and ready for their future.
