Our Challenge
1 out of 9
Approximately 1 out of 9 Americans - aged 16 to 24 - are neither enrolled in school nor participating in the labor market. They are disproportionately people of color - Black and Latinx young adults are up to 3-to-6 times more likely to be disconnected than their white peers.
Let us help you re-connect with them!

Our services have shown to significantly decrease chronic absenteeism and improve graduation rates among high school aged students.
Over 100 boys matched
In two academic years, we have matched 100 boys of color (grades 9 - 11) with Peer Mentors. Our communities have offered over 100 hours of peer to peer mentoring, team building and social emotional support activities.
Staying on track towards graduation
Our program supports have kept nearly 80% of student participants on track to graduate from high school in four years or less.
Reducing chronic absenteeism
We reduced chronic absenteeism by approximately 7% for student participants.
Chronic absenteeism is typically defined as missing 10 percent or more of a school year -- approximately 18 days a year, or just two days every month. Across the nation, 5 to 7.5 million students are chronically absent.
Students were invited to share their thoughts on the BTG Mentoring Program experience.
