The LHCC mentor program has been formed out of a need to provide high school students with the information, tools, and connections to set them up to graduate high school, form a post-graduation plan, and help them grow into healthy adults. Almost all LHCC kids will be first generation college students or even first-time high school graduates. Most are also the oldest child in their family; therefore, their family needs guidance on what steps they should be taking throughout their high school career and beyond. Outside of academics, mentors are also able to provide students with social/emotional and spiritual support.
