Last night, our community came together to celebrate Beyond the Bell: Opening Doors, Igniting Futures. It was a powerful reflection of what’s possible when a community comes together to create meaningful opportunities for youth beyond the school day.

The evening highlighted the remarkable progress of the Youth Success Summit network and featured leaders who are actively opening pathways for young people to discover their potential, find their voice, and begin shaping futures filled with possibility.

As we move forward, our collective work continues to expand access, strengthen programs, and empower youth to dream bigger.

What happens when a child has a trusted adult walking with them year after year?

At The Vincent House, consistent, long-term mentorship is not an add-on. It is central to who we are.

Through in-school circles, after-school programming, and K through graduation mentorship, at least 75% of participating youth show measurable increases in self-regulation and leadership skills.

This is how leaders are formed. Slowly. Intentionally. Through trust.

Middle schoolers are often told their ideas are for 'someday.' At TomTod, we know their ideas are for today.

At the Feast of Ideas, you’re not just registering for a fun evening. You’re fueling the mentors, resources, and space these students need to turn 'What If' into 'What Is.' Help us launch the next generation of middle school innovators.

Join us at the table. The deadline is coming up soon, so RSVP today! tomtod.org/feast
