About GANAS

The GANAS Mentoring Program is a 10-week experience designed for students aged 13 to 19, their families and mentors to grow together and build a solid foundation for the future.

GANAS means Great Achievements through Non-Traditional Academic Support. GANAS promotes determination, the impulse to overcome challenges and achieve your goals. That spirit guides this program, helping students turn their dreams into clear and achievable plans with the support of family and community.

Be Part of GANAS

For Students

Your future starts here.

Students build practical life skills through interactive sessions focused on college readiness, financial literacy, wellness, and leadership. Each student is paired with a mentor to create a vision board that maps out goals and steps toward success.

GANAS helps students gain confidence, discover their strengths, and take ownership of their future.

For Mentors

Be the difference

Mentors are the heart of GANAS. Through guidance, encouragement, and shared experiences, mentors help students believe in themselves and take meaningful steps toward their goals.

You don’t need to have all the answers, just the commitment to listen, support, and inspire the next generation.

Families

You Are Part Of The Journey

Families play a key role in student success. While students participate in mentorship sessions, parents and caregivers join Café con Sueños, a welcoming space to learn, connect, and explore how to support their child’s goals. Together, families gain tools, knowledge, and community to grow alongside their youth.
