Teach One to Lead One (T1L1) is a community mentoring program that has helped to change the lives of thousands of young people, and most importantly, those right here in the Hamilton Heights community. It couples caring mentors in the community with students in our schools with life-changing results.
T1L1 will hold a dessert and coffee fundraising event from 6 to 8 p.m. on Saturday, Oct. 2 at The Remnant Coffee Shop, 101 W. Main St., Arcadia.
Guests at the Oct. 2 event will hear firsthand about the hope local students are experiencing through the T1L1 program. Both mentors and students will share their experiences.
Locally, T1L1 has been active in Hamilton Heights High School since the fall of 2019. T1L1 recently started a mentoring class of eighth grade students in the middle school. The program has reached over 160 Hamilton Heights students during the past three school years.
To keep the financial and human resources burden of this program to a minimum for the Heights school system, T1L1 is led and funded by community members and businesses. The Oct. 2 event will give you the opportunity to become a partner that helps local students find hope both here in Hamilton Heights and in neighboring communities. Your support and help will make this event successful.
