OUR MISSION

The CLEO Legally Inspired College Kohorts of Students (CLICKS) was a multi-state program that empowered underserved high school students through structured mentorship and exposure to the legal, sports, and health professions.
WHY MENTORING?
Most highly successful adults have had four to five mentors in their professional life. On the job and in their community organizations, mentors play important roles in the lives of their mentees. Whether it’s career advice, personal concerns, or navigating life – a good mentor can help pave the way for both short- and long-term success.
