THE first serve engagement PROGRAM

Our innovative First Serve Engagement Program is changing the world of mentoring and youth development. First Serve pays, equips, and trains high school students to mentor children in their own communities. They are taught self-awareness, mindfulness, and compassion. We build upon this foundation with sports, education, career development, financial literacy, homework help, and mentoring.
Meet the mentors
Our Engagement Program has nearly 50 amazing mentors who pour into our students every single day. Here a few that we have chosen to highlight!
Estefany
If I can inspire one child, I can inspire a million to come. First Serve is my opportunity to make a difference in my community.
Ivan
It is amazing how I went into the mentorship program thinking that I would only invest into the kids. I didn't think about how much this program would pour into me.
Carlotta
What you do has a far greater impact than what you say. I hope the kids have seen my actions and learned from them.
