TE GUIO PROGRAM
Te Guío is a mentoring program for students in 9th and 10th grades that takes a holistic approach to student success, supporting their academic, social, and emotional development. Through caring relationships with LSF staff and volunteer mentors, students receive guidance as they navigate high school and prepare for their future.
Whether students are entering high school or are recent arrivals adjusting to a new school, community, or culture, Te Guío provides a welcoming space where they can build connections and feel supported. Individual mentoring, weekly workshops, and engaging activities help students strengthen their confidence, develop social-emotional skills, and work toward personal and academic goals being introduced to exploring college and career pathways.
Te Guío takes place Monday–Friday from 3–6 p.m. during the school year, providing a welcoming space for students to learn, connect, and receive support.
What Students can Expect:
- Connect with LSF staff and volunteer mentors for guidance on academic and personal goals.
