We’re honored to be named a 2025–2026 Most Valuable Partner (MVP) by Atlanta Public Schools! 🎉 At the inaugural MVP Celebration Brunch & Partnership Fair, community organizations and school leaders came together to celebrate the partnerships making a difference for APS students and families. Thank you to Atlanta Public Schools and Young Middle School for your partnership and for recognizing the impact of our Level Up Mentoring Program. We’re proud to work alongside our school communities to support students and help them reach their full potential!

What makes a student want to come back to school tomorrow? In a new guest column for @ajcnews, our President & CEO, Kwame Johnson, explores one of Georgia's most persistent education challenges: chronic absenteeism, and the important role mentorship can play in addressing it. Through our Level Up program, we're seeing what happens when students have consistent access to caring adults who help them feel connected and supported at school. Over three years, Level Up students saw a 36.5% reduction in days absent and a nearly two-thirds drop in out-of-school suspensions. As Kwame shares, improving attendance isn't just about getting students into classrooms. It's about giving them a reason to want to be there. 📰 Read his perspective in the AJC at the link in our bio.

A year after being matched, Big Mark and Little Dakarai are proof that one consistent relationship can make a lasting difference. “He’s smart, athletic, driven, conscientious, and just an all-around great kid,” Mark said. Dakarai and Mark’s son are the same age and have become so close that people often can’t tell they aren’t brothers. Reflecting on their match, Mark said, “I told his mom that no matter where they go or what happens, we’re all family.” She agreed. That’s what mentorship is all about: showing up, building trust, and creating relationships that last far beyond the match! #BiggerTogether
