SBPAL X RIVIERA MENTORSHIP PROJECT

The academic achievement gap in Santa Barbara is a well-documented concern that primarily affects underrepresented, minority student populations. Santa Barbara is home to a culturally diverse community, and SBPAL recognizes the needs and cultural barriers that prevent students from underrepresented communities from being successful.
Through our partnerships with different community organizations, we can identify and provide services to youth who would benefit from our program, including academic tutoring.
Through our collaboration with the Riviera Mentorship Project, a dedicated group of local high school students, we have expanded our commitment to serving the community. Our multifaceted approach includes personalized tutoring sessions, group mentoring, and comprehensive college advising.
Our tutors, who are themselves high school students from the Riviera Mentorship Project, bring a unique perspective and relatability to the students they assist. They not only help with academic subjects but also serve as positive role models and sources of inspiration.
We are dedicated to addressing the current educational needs of teenagers and actively promoting their academic growth and personal development. Our ultimate goal is to empower these students to thrive academically and confidently pursue their dreams of higher education, ensuring a brighter future for our community as a whole.
