We hope this card from one of our mentees makes you smile. No, we don’t know what the acronym means, but it serves as a reminder of the connection that lasts even when school is out! 💌

If Seedling is all about relationships, why do we need funding? Great question! While our mission is built on the power of one-on-one connections, sustaining and growing those relationships takes real resources. Your support helps us do so much more!

Kiley has been mentoring her mentee for 3 years! “I knew from the first day I met [my mentee] that she was special,” Kiley said. “She reminded me that we always have a choice—no matter what life looks like—to be kind, grateful, and generous.” ☀️
