KnowHow2Go and Hillsborough Education Foundation mentoring

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

The Foundation’s Take Stock in Children program has joined with the national KnowHow2Go initiative to prepare students for college. The KnowHow2Go initiative has made great contributions to assist our mentors with the information and resources to encourage their mentees to pursue a college degree. January is National Mentoring Month. The Foundation would like to recognize the generous individuals who give their time and energy to serve as a mentor through the Take Stock in Children program. These mentors are each paired with a student in the Florida Prepaid Scholarship program and serve as a guide and support as they work towards graduating high school.
