“Partner with Us to celebrate and impact"

January is National Mentoring Month, and there’s no better way to honor the power of guidance, leadership, and service than by joining the 2026 MLK Grande Unity Impact Initiative

OVERVIEW

Alumni Career Mentorship Initiative: “Back to Build the Future”

Purpose

To inspire and mobilize high school alumni to return to their alma maters as career mentors, helping students explore pathways in college, trades, entrepreneurship, and community leadership — while strengthening school pride and intergenerational connection.

    Re-engage graduates through school pride and community purpose.
    “Once a [Mascot Name], always a mentor.”

  3. Mentorship Networks:
    Create structured programs where alumni mentor small student groups throughout the month.

  4. Community Leadership Pipeline:
    Equip students with mentorship, networking, and volunteer opportunities that feed into local impact initiatives like the MLK Unity Parade & Career Expo.

  5. Celebrate Service:
    Recognize alumni mentors during National Mentoring Month (January) and school events.
