We believe that every student should be able to find and achieve their ideal post-high school plan academic path, regardless of their career goals or their financial circumstances. As such, our one-to-one mentoring services are provided free of charge. Normally, our 1-to-1 mentoring is face-to-face, but currently we are providing this mentoring via videoconference and teleconference. We believe in the strength of our local roots for creating a lasting impact in our communities. Our volunteer mentors are highly trained, come from the high school communities that they serve and work simultaneously with both students and their families. We currently partner with multiple school districts in Missouri, and are in the process of developing branches in California, Colorado and New Jersey. We accept any student, but in addition, these are our partner schools: Affton High School, Bayless High School, Francis Howell High School, Francis Howell Central High School, Francis Howell North High School, Francis Howell Union High School, Parkway Central High School, Parkway North High School, Parkway West High School, Wentzville Holt High School, Wentzville Liberty High School, Wentzville Timberland High School

Our mission is to help students and parents find and attend the ideal post-secondary educational program, help school counselors extend their college counseling reach, and build college-savvy communities.

Mentors develop long-term one-on-one relationships with students AND parents to make sure they understand the requirements of all family members, thereby ensuring that: students find and get accepted to their “ideal” post-high school educational program; both student and parent needs are met; and family members are in agreement with the student’s ultimate college decisions Mentors operate within a school, so they can relate to and accommodate each school's unique characteristics, culture and environment We seek to work in tandem with school counselors so that together we can provide a seamless and successful journey to college or post-high school career paths We seek to enhance the entire high school– in addition to those mentees who sign up for our program– by having local parents and community members become partners with their local school, and providing character education and role modeling to all students We seek to develop self-sustaining teams of parents and community members who can provide long-term college selection support to their local schools and steadily increase community involvement in the schools Our chapter-based system can be easily expanded to handle a large network of schools and geographic areas
