You can register your middle or high school student, connecting them to a group of peers with a dedicated Hope Mentor who will guide them on their journey.
Through weekly discussions, mentors help students process each life principle, guiding them to understand and apply these lessons to real-life situations.
Students discuss questions that help them process that week’s principle with their group’s mentors. They learn new habits.
