HOLLA Mentors

Changing the narrative of Black & Brown youth through culturally responsive relationships

Holla Mentors is a culturally responsive mentorship organization that since it’s inception has fostered a community of socially active neighbors, local entrepreneurs and committed professionals willing to foster healthy relationships with children and teens who are economically challenged and significantly at risk within the structures of the educational system.

Last week, we held our end of the year banquet to celebrate the close of another school year and recognize the achievements of our mentees, while also honoring the support and contributions of our mentors and families. ✨

It was an evening full of awards, prizes, delicious food, and celebration.

Thank you to Island Grill PDX for catering and helping make the night so special, and thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us. Enjoy your summer! ☀️

Big news! 🌟 HOLLA and The Rosewood Initiative are partnering up to amplify our work this Giving Tuesday, because working together means better opportunities and outcomes for our neighborhood! 🤝🏽🏡

We are neighbors, but our organizations share more than a neighborhood. We share a mission—to uplift, support, and respond to the needs of our community. Whether that’s providing vital resources, economic opportunities, and health services, or offering mentorship and relationship-building, we’re committed to showing up together. 💛📚✨

By working collaboratively, we strengthen our neighborhoods and empower the people who live here. We believe that when one neighborhood thrives, we all thrive. 🌱🌍

Your support truly means the world to us. This giving season, we invite you to be a part of our work. Your donation helps both HOLLA and The Rosewood Initiative continue providing the vital programs and services our community deserves. 🙏🏽❤️
