MAR hosted an interactive workshop-- Finding Your Tribe: How Mentoring Shapes Your High School Experience, to help students understand the importance of mentorship in their high school journey and grow in their sense of self-advocacy. By the end of the workshop, many students felt confident and prepared to identify and connect with mentors upon beginning their high school.
