Through one-to-one mentoring, BBBS Lone Star is dedicated to ensuring every child reaches their full potential. Our program specifically was built to ensure that all youth, regardless of background, have a plan after high school and the social capital to make it a reality. The program has already had a measurable impact on local youth - over 97% of mentees in the program enrolled in higher education, were employed or enlisted in the military upon graduation.
