Making a Greater Impact

One trusted adult can make a world of difference in a student's life

RPF understands that the amazing mentors across our state are the difference makers. We applaud them. We know they are doing great work. We also understand these organizations need extra support and resources to achieve success. RPF is working to help our mentor partners fulfill their unique missions all across South Carolina. Once partnered with Restoration Project Foundation, an organization will have access to our LITF curriculum, Framework for Success, coaching, and financial resources to help with implementation.

LIFT Curriculum

Our leadership curriculum enables mentors to impact students leadership skills in 10 key areas of life. Topics include, Personal Mission, Financial Literacy, Gratitude, Decision Making, Work Ethic, Relationships, and Communication. Each of the 10 Units consist of 4 weekly modules.

Support and Resources

In addition to financial support, RPF trains Mentors in the implementation of the LITF Curriculum, provides professional development for mentors, meets with mentors regularly to ensure all student needs are being met, and reviews site data

Innovative Approach

RPF partnered with 2 groups to launch our intensive mentoring model from fall of 2021-Spring of 2023, enabling RPF to design a reproducible framework that will launch new mentor sites for the 23-24 school year

Consistent Mentorship

RPF supported 9 mentor groups across South Carolina. Because of the dedicated work of these mentor partners, over 400 children had a mentor committed to improving their lives and future.

Supporting Local Efforts

RPF Mentor Partners are encouraged to grow the site their community needs, so each group has its own focus or approach. Also, RPF provides strategies to gain local support, increasing the resources offered to each child.

Committed to Growing

In 2023, RPF plans to expand the scope and reach of their LITF Curriculum. RPF will continue their work of resourcing our youth well. From counseling opportunities to more on the job experiences, RPF is here to provide what young people need.

Let's Build a Tailor-made Mentor Site

An existing organization who is already doing great things for their community and young people, could partner with us to do even more! With our help, they could offer their community a Mentor Site that couples traditional mentoring with school. A partnership with RPF will provide them with a framework and resources to launch a 20-30 student Mentor Group in August. This organization's Mentor Site will help students to thrive now and prepare them to excel in their next stage of life! Plus, this model allows for personalization as well, so this organization would give their Mentor Site a unique focus. This could be anything they're already passionate about. Current groups focus on baseball, music, career development, etc. The possibilities are endless!

Well Supported

From the fall of 2021 to the Spring of 2023, the Restoration Project Foundation worked with mentor partners to develop our Framework of Success. Our framework is broken down into 6 phases that enable you to build a tailor-made, thriving Mentor Site for your community. An RPF Regional Coordinator walks potential partners through our manageable phases, providing coaching and resources along the way. After phase 6, your RPF support continues throughout the school year too! Together, along with our online school partner and mentee families, we surround mentees with support, accountability, guidance, and training to help them find success and achieve goals.

Phase 1 and 2

RPF helps you plan and make general decisions for your Mentor Site

Phase 3 and 4

RPF supports as you build your site. During this phase, financial and marketing support begins.

Phase 5

RPF guides you through preparing a space, finding community partners and relationship building with mentees and their families.

Phase 6

RPF trains you to launch your group well with a strong academic foundation. Then, RPF assists as needed until you become a thriving Mentor Site.

Imagine a thriving Mentor Site in each of the 46 counties in South Carolina. How many lives could we change? Join us in this mission!
