Retired Santa Clara County Superior Court Judge Leonard Edwards credited MTC’s unique approach for the program’s success, stating, “I have evaluated numerous programs to support the youth who appeared in my court, and without a doubt, Mentor Tutor Connection stands out as the best. During my tenure, I have seen this program significantly increase high school graduation rates by focusing on both the emotional and academic needs of students, surpassing any other program I know.

Creating a World Where Everyone Belongs

Mentor Tutor Connection’s (MTC) numbers speak for themselves: 100% of mentored high-school students graduated, 100% reported their mentors really cared about them, and 100% would recommend MTC to friends.

As MTC expands its services into more local schools, your generous donations can help create lasting change in a young person’s life.
• $800 allows MTC to provide tutoring services for a K-8 student for an entire academic year.
• $1,600 allows MTC to provide mentoring for a high school student for an entire academic year.
• $2,500-$5,000 will help fund activities for mentors and mentees.
