“One of my girls, a freshman, was on the verge of doing something very distructive with her body. She had run out hope and thought her only option was to sell herself.  Her mentor came beside her and showed her just how valuable she was.  She turned to faith instead of despair and, honestly, she was saved.”
-Walter McPherson, Lillington-Shawtown Elementary Principal
(Formerly Assistant Principal of Harnett Central High School)

“One of our boys struggles with severe anger issues.  When he loses his temper he can’t seem to control his actions.  He makes very bad choices.  Toward the end of the year we could see significant change in him.  He breathes and thinks before he acts when he’s angry.  He’s learning to have self-control.  He even says now that his mentor taught him to control his anger.”
-Lauren Cappola, North Harnett Primary School Counselor

“Since the start of the mentoring program,  I have had numerous parents who have noticed changes in other kids and asked me how they can have their children in the Elevation program.”
-Amy Jacobs, Angier Elementary School Principal
