What is the MentorKids After-school program LEAD?

Leadership, Enrichment, Academics, and Discovery

Our After-school program LEAD (Leadership, Enrichment, Academics, and Discovery) provides reading and math assistance, along with homework help, for K-8th grade students. LEAD’s primary objective is to positively impact student success—in the classroom and the community—by focusing on outcomes tailored to each individual student, and his or her unique strengths and challenges.

In addition to the academics, kids in the Maryvale Promise Neighborhood will also have:

  • Leadership Development 

  • Spiritual Growth Opportunities

  • Sports & Physical Activity

  • Art & Music 

  • And much more
