10 to Succeed Youth Mentoring Program
The program in partnership with the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD), and San Diego Youth Action Board(YAB) blends the traditional school based student leadership team comprised of ninth-grade young men and women of color, identified for participation based on the need for improvement in attendance, academic performance, and discipline history. The program also has a tutorial, mentoring, and work connection component. Students meet each day after school on several campuses.
