FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
November 4, 2025
Phoenix, AZ – MentorKids USA is honored to announce it has received a generous grant from the Diane & Bruce Halle Foundation to support Tempe Promise Neighborhood Seed Funding. The Tempe Promise Neighborhood is MentorKids USA’s fifth Promise Neighborhood location, launched in January of 2025.
MentorKids USA’s youth development programming is offered at no cost to families in five Promise Neighborhoods: South Phoenix, Maryvale, Palomino, Paiute, and Tempe. Each year, more than 600 students receive daily homework help, reading and math support, enrichment activities, leadership development, and mentorship in a safe, nurturing environment through after-school and summer programming.
Founded in 1997, the mission of MentorKids USA is to equip and empower youth to be transformative leaders in their lives, their families, and their communities. We are Building Leaders Who Build Leaders.
“The Diane & Bruce Halle Foundation’s investment directly supports the students we serve through the Tempe Promise Neighborhood, many of whom face significant barriers such as poverty, unstable family environments, and limited access to resources,” said Aaron Parrott, Executive Director at MentorKids USA. “This grant will help ensure these youth receive the support and tools they need to realize their potential.”
MentorKids USA is proud to partner with the Diane & Bruce Halle Foundation to transform lives and communities through its Promise Neighborhood model. To learn more about the Diane & Bruce Halle Foundation, visit Our Legacy - The Diane & Bruce Halle Foundation
