The Program

Summit matches volunteer mentors with inner city 4-7th graders to help motivate them toward high goals and improve their academic skills through personal, One-on-One mentoring. Summit’s mission is to broaden the horizons of these children and instill in them the desire to succeed academically and personally through hard work and character development.

Summit provides motivating talks on a variety of virtues that defeat the negatives of life by fostering positive attitudes towards study, learning, family and community. Ultimately Summit’s goal is help each child — in a personal way — become a better student and a better person. Eventually we want our children to be happier, more successful workers and well respected members of their community. Summit’s motto is: No Child Left Unhelped

 

“What I really like about Summit is that my mentor helps me with my homework. Another thing I like about Summit is that we have gym and I get to jump rope or play wi th others. My goal for Summit is to improve my math skills.”

- Martha Castro, 5th Grader
