Essence​

The Essence Mentorship Program is available to all students in our seven member districts in middle and high school. It is designed to offer a comprehensive college and career curriculum providing valuable opportunities for all students involved in the group. We focus on college and career readiness and community building for those who have potential and could benefit from mentorship, support and opportunity.​

We meet with students twice monthly, during the school year, at their school and virtually, to work on curriculum which focuses on four constructs: 

• Expectations
• Aspirations
  
• Opportunities
  
• Achievement
  

Students have the opportunity to participate in out-of-school

educational experiences during the school year with other

students from across the seven district consortium.  

Field trip experiences include:

• Service learning - giving back to our community
• Base Camp - leadership skill building
  
• College and Career Conferences 
  
• College Visits
