BECOME A MENTOR
Sugga’s mentorship program is designed to connect industry professionals and community champions with specific skills and knowledge (mentors) with Atlanta-area youth (protégés) who need or want the same skills and advantages to move up in work, skill level, or school performance. Participants in our program, both young and old, share their values and personal goals in a mutually respectful, supportive way which leads to a more enriched life for both, breaks down barriers and creates opportunities for success.
