A mentorship program fights for survival under the Trump administration

Listen Later

Improve Your Tomorrow provides mentorship services to about 1,000 students at Stockton Unified School District, transforming struggling students into leaders prepared for college.

But funding is uncertain under the second Trump administration. Improve Your Tomorrow, like many mentoring and tutoring programs in K-12 schools, relies partially on federal grants through AmeriCorps — funding that President Donald Trump has proposed entirely eliminating.

Guests:

  • Nicole Davidson, program manager, Improve Your Tomorrow at Stockton Unified School District
  • Lasherica Thornton, reporter, EdSource
