Individual therapeutic mentoring is the heart of our program. In individual mentoring sessions, mentees – with the guidance and support of their mentors – develop and achieve individualized goals and get support with navigating the many demands of middle school life.
Who We Are
We are redefining youth mentoring… and empowering the community to make an impact
What We Do
Research-Based Mentoring
Where it Matters
Built around the needs and interests of our young people, The Arthur Project has small after school groups that provide opportunities for growth and exploration, all while providing a safe, fun, and supportive environment to connect with peers.
Through their participation in carefully curated activities, the young people in our program explore the richness of New York City, all while developing essential life skills as they access opportunities that may not otherwise be available to them.
In partnership with caregivers, Education Advocates through The Arthur Project support the strengthening of the whole family’s relationship to their student’s educational journey.
