Our mentors

Trusted role models for our students

Mentors are the heart of Next Generation Scholars. They are trusted role models from the Statesboro community who show up consistently for our students.

Our mentors are dedicated leaders and role models who are passionate about guiding, encouraging, and inspiring the next generation of scholars.

How every mentor is vetted

A four-step screening, every time.

We’re committed to ensuring our mentors reflect the values, character, and professionalism our families expect.
