The answer was 31 lunches.
Once you account for holidays, testing days, field trips, weather closures, and other school events, a mentor and student typically share about 31 lunches during a school year.
That may not sound like much.
But 31 lunches mean 31 opportunities to connect.
31 opportunities to listen.
31 opportunities to encourage.
31 opportunities to celebrate successes, navigate challenges, and simply show up.
At Project Mentor, we know meaningful connection can make a lasting difference in a student’s life. One lunch at a time. ❤️
