Remember being 16?

Did you have a dream?

Be a Dream Maker.

Be a Mentor!

The Building Dreams Mentor Program (BD) is a school-based career-oriented mentor program that exists to enhance the academic and personal experiences of the California Partnership Academy student's enrolled in the Criminal Justice, Computer Technology, Environmental Science, Sports or Careers in Technology Academies within the Twin Rivers Unified School District. With the guidance, support, and motivation of a dedicated mentor they may build dreams upon a strong foundation in order to achieve career guidance, emotional well-being, social competence and academic success.

What is a Mentor?

Mentoring is a relationship over a period of time between two people; where an older, wiser, and more experienced adult provides consistent support, and guidance to a youth. 

Mentors and their students communicate at least once a week to discuss goals, dreams, and the pressures of being a teenager. 

Mentoring provides concrete help in academic and social areas as well as preparation for  college and career opportunities.

Mentoring has been proven to improve a student's school attendance, grades, and relationships with parents, teachers, and peers. 

Mentoring helps a student to learn how to positively resolve conflicts, and communicate better.
