Public School Mentoring
Hope Collaborative provides small group mentoring—typically groups of four students—within the school setting. Trained mentors meet with students one hour per week during the school year, building trusted relationships and strengthening core social emotional skills such as self awareness, emotional regulation, healthy relationships, and decision making. This consistent presence helps students grow in confidence, engagement, and belonging at school.

Court Diversion Mentoring
The Court Diversion program is an eight-week, workshop-based mentoring experience for youth involved in the justice system. Each cohort is guided by a trained facilitator and supported by mentors who walk alongside participants through the full program. Through structured sessions and relationship based support, youth develop accountability, emotional regulation, and positive decision making skills that help them move forward with direction and purpose.
