Diversity, Equity, Inclusion
We embrace, celebrate, and value diversity. We create a safe and welcoming space for all people and are committed to eliminating disparities in access, opportunity, and inclusion. Service
We are committed to service. We serve not just our students, but their families, our volunteers, HCPSS, and the broader Howard County Community. We deploy our resources to serve these constituencies. |

Safety
We thoroughly screen our mentor/tutors through a rigorous process which includes comprehensive background checks. We value and uphold the confidentiality placed between a mentee and a mentor/tutor. Empowerment
We provide young students with the guidance they need to cultivate their own sense of agency. Our work with students is collaborative and flexible, allowing us to meet them where they are in order to help them move forward. Transparency
We seek to engender trust in the community among parents, school personnel, donors, and others by being open about our finances, policies, staff, board members, impact, and more. Respect
We value our role as a student's trusted person. Our mentor-tutors foster an atmosphere of mutual respect and above all provide a safe space for students to flourish. |
