Mentoring Alliance After School and Summer Camps

Mentoring Alliance After School and Summer Camps offers after-school programs, summer camps, and dedicated mentoring relationships for children and families. The program is a Christ-centered, intentionally multiethnic ministry that places Jesus at the center of everything it does. Leaders invest in one-on-one relationships with students, and leaders, volunteers, and mentors focus on helping kids succeed academically, spiritually, and emotionally.

Mentoring Alliance states that it exists to mobilize godly people into the lives of kids and families, to provide tangible help and eternal hope. The organization partners with local schools in the Greater Tyler and Greater Waco communities to offer after-school and summer camp programs close by and is currently serving more than 20 schools, with 25 schools served noted in its impact data. Reported impact figures include 2,148 kids served, $2.8M in scholarships awarded for financial assistance for families, 8 out of 10 students finishing half or more of their daily homework in After School, and 6,000 gospel conversations through Summer Camps.

One summer camper who became a camp counselor, Tesa, shared that Mentoring Alliance helped her grow spiritually and realize that God is always with her and can put a smile on her face at any time. A parent, Destiny Hinojosa, stated that having people who are willing to help a child because they want to makes a person feel wanted and want to do better. Dr. Marty Crawford, Tyler ISD Superintendent, described Mentoring Alliance as an authentic proven partner that can help achieve successful student outcomes.
