Mission Opportunity

Our Mission Opportunity program is designed to help freshmen at Milby High School and eighth graders at Deady Middle School be successful in their education.

Our Program Manager focuses on making sure each student is passing and attending school, so they can graduate and become responsible adults. In addition each student in the program is  paired with a mentor from Milby High School. If you have a heart and passion to help a student succeed please contact us.

The Mission Opportunity Mentoring Project is recruiting 11th graders to be paid mentors.
Mentoring provides students the opportunity to explore career options, seek leadership guidance, educational resources, support with developing social and decision-making skills, and continue to build a positive supportive social network.
