Affinity Mentoring

Affinity Mentoring | We are a local nonprofit that matches students in K-8th grade with a caring adult role model to journey alongside them one hour a week at their school. Affinity is a 501c3 nonprofit organization that partners with local businesses, organizations, and schools. We work towards the mutual liberation of all community members and believe that youth are already leaders and community members, but need equitable access and platforms to use their voice. Affinitys mentoring model provides individual, one hour per week mentoring with trained, safe, supportive adults to support the growth of leadership and social-emotional skills, as well as math and literacy skills.
