2026 Mentorship Breakfast

Start your morning inspired and reminded of the power we all hold to change a life.

The 2026 Mentorship Breakfast – IT TAKES A VILLAGE is more than a meal—it’s a meaningful gathering of community leaders, mentors, advocates, and supporters who believe that no young person succeeds alone. This uplifting breakfast will celebrate the impact of mentorship and highlight the collective role we all play in helping young people discover their potential.

Attendees will hear powerful, real-life stories from mentors and youth whose lives have been shaped by consistent support, encouragement, and guidance. You’ll learn how mentorship strengthens not only individuals, but families, schools, and entire communities. Through moving testimonials and a shared sense of purpose, this event will remind us that when a village comes together, lasting change happens.

Whether you are a longtime mentor, a community partner, a business leader, or someone curious about how to get involved, this breakfast offers:

• An inspiring start to your day
• A deeper understanding of why mentorship matters
• A chance to connect with others who care about youth success
• An opportunity to be part of a growing village committed to impact

Join us as we celebrate relationships that transform lives and reaffirm a simple but powerful truth: it takes a village to raise confident, capable, and resilient young people.

Come hungry—not just for breakfast, but for hope, connection, and purpose.
