Thank You Mentors!
Trustworthy. Good listener. Confidant....
Friend. Tutor. Reliable. Advocate. Role model…
These are just a few of the words that come to mind when we think of our REACH Memphis mentors. When the pandemic led to months of isolation our mentors quickly adapted to virtual mentoring, going above and beyond to stay connected with our students, staff and with each other. Their words of encouragement and actions of support became the benchmarks of positivity and growth for our students. We celebrate the work of our magnificent mentors and thank the Grizzlies Charitable Foundation for making this program possible throughout this most extraordinary year.

We strive to help our students be the best version of themselves and that includes academically. We could not truly be living out our mission if we weren't able to offer tutoring when students needed help. We are so grateful for our dedicated mentors that took the time to regularly tutor our students on various subjects. Thank you so much for being the lifeline to our students!

We would be remiss not to thank Julia Hurwitz, PhD for not only facilitating regular Math ACT Prep Sessions but for donating books, calculators, and gift cards to help prepare and motivate our students. Thank you Julia for all you do for our students!
