In this short video, Luis, one of our full-time professional mentors, reflects on his relationship with his mentee, Santiago — or “Santi,” as he calls him.

Luis shares moments that go far beyond weekly check-ins. From teaching safety and life skills to cheering on Santi’s big dreams, he shows how steady guidance can help a child grow with confidence. Every lesson, every conversation, every shared milestone adds up.

Their bond is a powerful reminder of what consistent, caring mentorship can mean in a child’s life.
