SMILES connects caring adults with students to encourage and help them thrive both in and out of the classroom.
The mission of SMILES is to help children realize their personal and educational potential through a large scale one-to-one mentoring program.
A SMILES facilitator leads the group of one-to-one matches for an hour each week through activities designed to help build healthy relationships.
