Amanda & Lisa's Story

Amanda, 17 was matched with her mentor Lisa in spring 2007. When Amanda’s mom approached CFR, she shared her struggle to motivate her daughter, Amanda, as she was disinterested in school and future plans for college and career. She was also very shy and soft-spoken.

Amanda and Lisa slowly began to build a friendship that would eventually reveal common interests in arts and culture, including music, museums, and dance concerts. Today, after two years of mentorship, Amanda continues to improve in school and has plans to start junior college upon high school graduation in 2010. With support and encouragement from Lisa, the relationship between mom and daughter has also improved.

"I can see her growth," Mom Miranda said. "She knows she has a team of people caring and watching out for her."
