Mentees

These are the sons of our city, raised in the heart of New Orleans and supported by people who believe in their future. Surrounded by mentors and community, they learn to trust their voice, shape their path, and grow into young men who know they belong.

BECOME A MENTEE

The Heart of Our Mission

Our mentees are the storytellers here. Through the Homegrown Campaign, they reflect on their experiences, the relationships that ground them, and the moments that changed everything. Listen to our mentees as they share how Son of a Saint has shaped who they are becoming.
