MentorKids programs are free to every student and family. Your gift is what makes that possible — funding the year-round mentorship, academic support, and leadership development students receive across six Phoenix Promise Neighborhoods.
Every Program. Every Student. Always Free.
“I can honestly say I've never seen any organization that's more frugal than MentorKids is. They actually make every dollar count, and they probably make it count more than once. I want the money that God has given me to steward to count, and I want to give to organizations that are really making a difference in the lives of youth.”
Dave Cavan, Cavan Companies
