What People are Saying

“I loved seeing my students coming in every week excited to work with me. I loved knowing that I was able to be a safe space for them, and that no matter what I would always have their backs and help them with their problems; academic or emotional.”

“I think the Coaching 4 Change resource has been extremely beneficial in giving us mentors to build relationships / assist students from a level that a teacher is unable to.”

“I am actually a middle school teacher myself now and I cannot thank c4c enough for helping me find this path.”

– Former C4C Mentor

“One student, who struggled academically and leaned more towards avoidance and attention seeking behaviors during class, was able to take on a leadership role in his C4C group. In the non-academic, low-stakes setting of C4C After-School, he was helpful, patient and set a good example for the other students in the program. These behaviors translated to the classroom, especially in my class, where he knew I had seen that side of him.”

“I believe that I have grown as a mentor and as a leader. Working with my students this year I realized the value of providing additional or even just general support to elementary aged-children. There would be a common occurrence where the students would be frustrated, stuck, or even upset, but if I took the time to sit with them, listen to them, and help them work through what was frustrating them, their day went a whole lot smoother, they were calmer, and they gained a new understanding.”

– C4C Mentor

“Students who worked with our mentors felt more confident academically due to their support & participated more frequently.”
