The success of this program relies on the support of our community. Adult Achievers are expected to serve as consistent and positive role models for students. We seek mentors who can inspire and assist students in developing character strengths, skills, and relationships that encourage positive behavior, wise life choices, and pursuing higher education and career goals. Our Adult Achievers are professionals aiming to enhance or acquire new skills to advance in their respective industries. We offer professional development opportunities to Adult Achievers to help them progress in their careers and make a more significant impact in the communities they serve. Having strong adult role models from the community can truly make a difference.
