Our Annual Impact Report
Each year, Rogue Valley Mentoring’s Annual Impact Report reflects the power of belonging in action. These reports highlight how our mentoring programs help youth feel seen, supported, and connected—to themselves, their peers, their future and their community.
Through ongoing data collection and youth feedback, we track growth in areas such as confidence, trust, resilience, and engagement at school.
The results show that when young people experience a genuine sense of belonging, they thrive—and that impact can be measured year after year.
2024-2025
When students look forward to their mentoring circles each week, they become more engaged in school overall. This consistent excitement and connection can lead to improved attendance and even higher GPAs.
2023-2024
A sense of belonging can transform a student’s experience at school. When youth feel connected to peers and mentors, they’re more likely to show up, leading to stronger attendance and deeper engagement.
2019-2020
Post-pandemic, we saw an urgent need for real, in-person connection after isolation and uncertainty. Our mentoring circles offered a space to rebuild trust, belonging, and the social confidence that screens alone could never provide.
