Mentor Outings: Mentors will accompany groups of teens on field trips both inside the city and in the mountains. Outing may include both one day and multiple day trips. Field trips outside the city generally occur during the summer months. A trip agenda will be provided and mentor and student work together to achieve a pre-designated goal.

All mentors must receive training before meeting with the students. The project includes weekly incentive prizes, a 30 day reward lunch, and a 60 day completion celebration.
- Project Graduation : Mentors will work with selected students, motivating them to graduate on time. This is a long term commitment which may last up to four years.
