Mentorship & Leadership

Mentorship aims to shift the paradigm for at-risk children from a position of an unwanted and marginalized victim, to a life of empowerment, dignity, self-esteem, and self-fulfillment. Mentorship inspires self-awareness and gratitude by encouraging each student’s individual talents, skills, and passions. The program teaches communication and leadership skills, emotional management, and team building within a community. Students are coached by trained professionals and are also paired with an older peer within the program, both helping to guide them through adolescence and into a career.

Importantly, HCC mentorship encourages a mindset of “leaders training leaders”. Giving back to the community is a cornerstone of the HCC educational philosophy, and our students and graduates give back to the community with a profound sense of gratitude and responsibility.
