Active Success Coaches: 11
“This summer, the Peer Power team at St. Benedict brought a level of professionalism and focus that I would expect from seasoned educators. Their work with our incoming freshmen gave those students a real advantage, setting them up to succeed in our rigorous academic environment. Peer Power’s deep commitment to improving ACT scores and long-term academic growth aligns perfectly with our Catholic mission of touching the hearts and minds of every student. Their mentors form meaningful, lasting relationships that guide students not only toward college but toward the college of their choice. It’s clear to me that this is more than tutoring; this is a calling, and it’s one that changes lives.”

Peer Power is making progress now by placing students in leadership roles that prepare them for lifetimes of success. Now that we know the model works, we see a terrific opportunity for bringing it to more students in more schools, which will require additional funding from a greater range of sources. Peer Power seeks partners who are passionate about changing the lives of children today.
