“Executive Council Charities’ investment directly supports the students we serve, many of whom face significant barriers such as poverty, unstable family environments, and limited access to resources,” said Audrey Gallinger, Grants Manager at MentorKids USA. “This grant will help ensure these youth receive the support and tools they need to realize their potential.”

MentorKids USA celebrates a season of faithful leadership and new beginnings. After seven years of dedicated service as Board Chair, Tammy Valdez passes the baton to Diane Erhart, who will lead us into a new era of growth and impact. Join us in thanking Tammy for her servant leadership and welcoming Diane into her new role as we continue building leaders who build leaders.

With this grant, more teens in our Promise Neighborhoods will step into leadership.

“We are incredibly grateful to Thunderbirds Charities for this generous investment in the lives of the youth we serve,” said Aaron Parrott, Executive Director of MentorKids USA. “This funding will allow us to deepen our impact and expand opportunities for students to become confident, capable leaders in their families and communities.”
