The Journey Mentoring Program provides much needed mentoring to the 8th-grade girl as she prepares to transition into high school. Each student is matched with an adult/young adult role model. They communicate through letter writing. This is what makes the program unique and the experience so rewarding. Many of these relationships are maintained beyond college.
