From our Executive Director

Hello and welcome to Take Stock Sarasota’s newsletter. We are truly blessed to partner with the best donors, mentors, schools and organizations to provide college success coaching and post-secondary education to amazing, deserving students in Sarasota County. Thank you to all who make our program so successful.

Take Stock Sarasota loves every opportunity we get to celebrate our mentors. January is when we get to celebrate our amazing mentors all month long and host our Mentor Appreciation Breakfast! Mentors are truly the heart and soul of our program. We had a parent say many years ago, “the scholarship is the gift to the family, the mentor is the gift to the student”.

This statement is so true. Our mentors do not get paid with money, but rather with the knowledge that they are making a difference in the life of a young person. Sometimes it might not seem like you are making an impact, however, you are. You are showing up!

We truly thank you for all that you do.
