Mentoring relationships are sustained through the participant's respective graduations, when mentors finish their yale university career and mentees enter high school. Deploying up to 20 mentors, the program identifies youth who struggle academically and employs a triangular mentoring model that fosters an academic-centered relationship that also allows the child to develop personally. Each week, the mentor/mentee spend time developing academics, but additional time is built in for personal expression and unique learning opportunities.”
