Build regular participation in weekly tutor/mentor activities
Our first priority is to encourage students to commit to regular, long-term tutor/mentoring. Students participate in the program voluntarily. They are not selected by teachers or mandated to participate. They come because they and their parents value what Cabrini Connections has to offer.
- Student attendance at tutor/mentoring sessions once a week from 6:00 to 8:00pm averages 80%
- More than 80% of students who start in September are still with the program in May; 85% of the students participating in May return the next year
- Since 1993 more than 490 teens have been part of the program for at least one year. 36% have participated for 3 to 7 consecutive years.
