Bright Futures Mentoring

✨A little learning, a little fun & a few furry friends!

We kicked off Bright Futures After School with a visit from Wyo Hoofbeats EAL ! The kids learned about anxiety, explored strategies for managing big feelings & got to spend some time with our four-legged visitors.🐾 We also introduced this month’s theme: respect! 🫡

We can’t wait to see everyone again Wednesday! 💛

Once a Bright Futures mentee, now an After School Mentor. 💛

Zoie’s journey is a reminder of the lasting impact of being part of a supportive community.

After experiencing the encouragement and opportunities that come with being a mentee, she now helps create those same meaningful experiences for youth in our After School program. Through her role as a mentor, she’s building relationships, sharing her time and making a difference in the lives of others.

Now she’s helping us spread the word about , which starts tomorrow - because every young person deserves someone who believes in them and a place where they feel supported.

📅 Support Bright Futures on July 15 and help us continue creating meaningful connections and opportunities for youth in our community.
