Apply to Join
Forward doesn’t just let everyone in, you have to apply, be interviewed by the mentors and give us a chance to see who you are. 4 Students are chosen for every cohort. We hope you’re one of them.
BECOME A MENTOR
Create an impact…
Meet with students twice a month and build a lasting relationship over four years. Your encouragement, guidance and belief in them can strengthen their confidence, accountability and vision for the future.
Make a Difference
Every student deserves consistent support and someone who believes in their future.
Through our Adopt-A-Student program, individuals and businesses commit $1,000 per year for four years. This sponsorship supports a student’s mentoring journey and annual incentive, awarded upon graduation for their next chapter.
Our goal is to sponsor 15 students and bring Forward Mentoring to more schools.
Forward Mentoring is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
“What students need more than anything is positive adult relationships.”
— Mike J., D218 School Administrator
Students grow alongside one another. Two trained adult mentors guide each cohort of five students through habit-based sessions that build trust, encourage honest conversation and strengthen confidence, leadership, accountability and adaptability.
COHORT-BASED
A FOUR-YEAR COMMITMENT
Meaningful change takes time. Forward Mentors walk alongside students from their freshman year through graduation, building trust, developing health habits and providing consistent encouragement. In partnership with educators and school counselors, we create a supportive experience that helps each student grow and prepare for what comes next.
CELEBRATING PROGRESS
Growth deserves to be recognized. From mid-semester rewards to end of semester celebrations, we use positive reinforcement to help students see their progress, build confidence and stay motivated through the year.
