MentorPRO Renews its Partnership with Elev8 Baltimore

MentorPRO today announced the renewal of its partnership with Elev8 Baltimore for a second year, continuing to support school-based youth mentoring across multiple Baltimore school sites.

“Elev8 Baltimore shows up in schools and neighborhoods where consistent adults matter enormously, and Tracee Cheek’s team has steadily grown this work site by site. We are glad to continue supporting them,” said Jean Rhodes, PhD, Co-founder of MentorPRO.

Year One included an out-of-school-time program expansion and the launch of a new site at Harlem Park in October 2025. In Year Two, Elev8 Baltimore is onboarding its 2026 cohort and building on that foundation across additional school sites, with MentorPRO supporting match tracking, engagement, and program visibility throughout.

The renewal continues to be grounded in peer-reviewed research linking school-based mentoring with stronger attendance, engagement, and social-emotional outcomes for K-12 students.
