The 3rd Annual SC School Mentor Summit was a great success! This year’s event focused on two key themes: Mentee and Family Voice and Choice and Mentor Recruitment and Retention. Attendees engaged in thoughtful conversations, shared insights, and built valuable connections. With interactive sessions and networking opportunities, the summit offered an energizing day of learning and collaboration for all involved.
