Holla

One size does not fit all. Each of our HOLLA mentors engage with students & schools in unique ways. We are not a program or a formula. Our mentors are working with students of various ages & backgrounds across the Portland area. Most work in one-on-one settings, although we do have several mentoring groups as well. We have partnered with I Have a Dream and Portland Leadership Foundation to provide mentors to students already engaged in their organizations. HOLLA also has two girls basketball programs to engage students in mentorship through basketball. Mentors come in all shapes & sizes. We have adult professionals who volunteer their time, as well as college students. Each mentor commits to seeing their student on a weekly basis, either during or after school. We currently have mentors engaged with students in Portland Public, David Douglas & Reynolds School Districts. Throughout the year we provide opportunities for exposure to careers & activities in our community.
