"This program puts the very best of Rochester's Black and Brown communities in a position to offer the example from their own lives to help every child in Rochester reach their full potential.

"We are grateful to these role models for helping us build a stronger community by making a positive impact on the lives of our scholars. These amazing African American and Hispanic professionals share personal journeys and strategies to overcome challenges while enhancing the love of learning," said Superintendent of Schools Dr. Lesli Myers-Small.
The Pillars of Hope program works in partnership with educators at self-selected elementary and middle schools to introduce students to Black and Brown mentors – or "Pillars of Hope" – who can increase a zest for learning, provide strategies to deal with challenges and offer insights into such life skills as goal setting and career selection.
Mentors commit to spending at least one hour each month to participate in Pillars of Hope team activities and foster a personal connection with students with whom they can identify a shared experience.
