School Bus Heroes

Become a School Bus Hero Today!

In 2020, amidst the unprecedented challenges of the pandemic, we launched the School Bus Heroes initiative to reignite the spark of learning for over 200,000 Nevada students who had lost their connection with traditional schooling. Our board of directors took bold action, supercharging mentorship programs to help students break through barriers both in and out of the classroom.

Why Mentoring Matters

Research shows that youth with mentors are:

• 55% more likely to enroll in college
• 78% more likely to volunteer regularly
• 90% more likely to become mentors themselves

Inspiring Story

Maria, a high school junior, was struggling with remote learning and felt disconnected from her peers. Through the mentorship program, she found a supportive community and improved her grades, ultimately securing a scholarship for college.

Mentor's Perspective

John, a mentor in the program, shares his experience: "Being a mentor has been incredibly rewarding. Seeing Maria's transformation from a struggling student to a confident scholar has been inspiring. This program not only helps the mentees but also enriches the lives of mentors by allowing us to make a tangible difference."

Program Goals and Impact

The School Bus Heroes program aims to:

• Increase student engagement by 30%
• Improve academic performance by 25%
• Expand reach to an additional 50,000 students

These success stories highlight the transformative power of School Bus Heroes. This initiative wouldn't be possible without our incredible community partners—local leaders, media outlets, and vendors—who have stood by our side every step of the way.
