What's included

1:1 Mentor Match — paired by location, personality, and shared interests.

Biweekly Meetups — in the community, at agreed-upon safe public locations.

Structured Orientation — a family meeting at GEM before matching begins.

Ongoing Oversight — mentor manager check-ins and progress summaries.

A relationship, not a class period

GEMpower is community-based mentoring — mentors and mentees spend time together outside of school in everyday activities, not just scheduled sit-downs. That's what sets it apart from other mentoring programs.

We want every student to leave high school knowing someone believed in them, invested in them, and helped them become the person they're capable of becoming.

Additional benefits at GEM

We are committed to your child's safety, well-being and providing convenience for the family.
