HIGHLIGHTS + ACHIEVEMENTS
Highlights and achievements from 2021-2022 that advanced our vision that all children are empowered to reach their full potential through mentorship: • We reduced barriers for service and increase accessibility to our programs for parents and guardians by continuing to provide interactive virtual programs developed during the pandemic, and returning to in-person programs at community partner sites and schools. • We ran a successful Youth Leadership Summit full of workshops and learning opportunities for youth, with focus on financial literacy, mental health and selfdiscovery, and school and career readiness. • We underwent a restructure of our program team organizational chart, with new roles and clarified portfolios, which has resulted in a stable structure for growth and enhancement of our programs and services.
• We have lowered our environmental impact by moving toward being a paperless organization. This in turn has created opportunity for increased efficiencies and stronger data security. • Our ongoing commitments to equity, inclusion, antiracism, and reconciliation are put into practice across all programs and operations as we promote dialogue and advance knowledge in these important areas, through conversation and education, to build toward informed and intentional actions and allyship for our clients, staff team, and throughout the communities we serve.
