MENTOR California
This Giving Tuesday, MENTOR California is reminded that generosity isn’t only measured in dollars—it’s measured in time, wisdom, and belief. Mentoring is one of the most powerful gifts that can be given, as it unlocks potential in young people who need someone to believe in them, builds bridges of equity and opportunity across communities, and creates legacy—every conversation plants seeds that grow far beyond us all.
Mentoring lets people share hope, connection, and supports a future worth celebrating.

The Young Shakespeareans
The Young Shakespeareans (TYS) empowers young people to speak with confidence, imagine without limits, and envision futures filled with possibility. TYS’ afterschool programs bring theatre arts into neighborhood schools, which help students to unlock their academic, social, and creative potential. Support for these programs engages families and the greater community, while connection with theatrical subjects fosters compassion, self-awareness, and social-emotional literacy among participants as they explore dramatic literature and the universal themes that connect them with each other.
