Our Mission

Our mission is to empower the success and wellness of students through mentorship.

Our Vision

Our vision is for every youth to have the mentors needed to reach their goals.

Our Values
  • Resilience: the ability to adapt to change, navigate challenges effectively, and achieve long-term goals. We practice resilience as an organization by seeking innovative ways to overcome challenges. For example, we built a new version of the app on a completely different platform so we could apply participant feedback in a meaningful way.
  • Reciprocity: the process of learning, growing, and succeeding together. Our mentors learn from the mentees as much as the mentees learn from the mentors, and Positivity Outward learns from both!
  • Autonomy: the opportunity to make independent decisions. Our mentees choose their mentors and our mentors choose the topics they provide support for.
