Celebrating our Winter 2024 Grads during National Volunteer Month
Our Winter 2024 StreetWise Bridge graduation arrived in the middle of National Volunteer Month. The normally festive event was even more joyous, celebrating mentees and mentors alike and the winning combination of volunteerism!
It was a powerful reminder of how far dedication, resilience, and mentorship can take you. Seeing grads walk the stage, surrounded by proud mentors, friends, and volunteers, made it all the more special.
Congratulations to all our Award winners, who went above and beyond in their work and dedication, truly setting positive examples for the entire cohort.
Mentee Leadership Award – Saher Rahiel, Edwin Valero, Jerry Wen
Mentee of the Cycle Award – Mariel Colins
Mentee / Mentor Pair Award – Selena Zheng (mentee) and Mo Ali (mentor)
Volunteer of the Cycle Award -- Madeleine Milan
As Mariel Colins, the recipient of The Mentee of the Cycle award so eloquently stated,
“I recommend StreetWise to professionals who want to improve in life because I truly believe that it can help you grow both mentally and professionally.”
We are proud of all our graduates. We are deeply appreciative of all our mentors and volunteers who keep the mission alive and flourishing through the years. Thank you to everyone in this community who supports StreetWise; volunteers, mentors, board members, sponsors, partners, donors, and community enthusiasts! What you contribute each day changes lives!
This is a perfect moment to remember just how much mentorship matters. If you’ve ever thought about giving back, there is no better time to start. Leaders support, inspire, and create new leaders.
We are recruiting volunteers for our next cycle so sign up today to learn more!
