SAVE is gearing up for a year of Academic Mentoring Program sessions, activity enrollment, and the launch of our brand new Follow Through Program! We cannot wait to be back on campus this Fall!

For the last 13 years, our overarching goal at SAVE is to connect underserved youth with opportunities and resources to be successful students and active individuals. 

Our Academic Mentoring Program (AMP) allows 3rd-8th grade students to go to college campuses for engaging activities, mentorship with volunteer college students, and campus interaction, while our Follow Through Program (FTP) focuses on following SAVE graduates all the way through high school to encourage engagement and provide resources.

Academic Mentoring Program (AMP) Updates 

New, engaging curriculum! 

This summer we have been working hard to develop new, informed, and engaging curriculum for AMP sessions. In the wake of COVID, we seek to emphasize hands-on learning, curiosity, and connection with mentors and campuses. 

Back on Metro Community College campus! 

We cannot wait to reconnect our SAVE students to hands-on trade experiences at MCC. Throughout the year, our AMP sessions will include 3D printing, culinary classes, horticulture experiences, and construction & carpentry!

Follow Through Program Updates (launching this Fall!)

We received funding to launch our new Follow Through Program this Fall! This program is designed to follow SAVE graduates through junior high and high school to provide support, resources, and encouragement for academic success and extracurricular engagement. This program will service a vast range of needs, from acting as a bridge for academic success, to providing extracurricular supplies and opportunities post-high school.  

We are excited to welcome three new full-time hires! They have been working hard this summer to prepare for the upcoming school year!
