Champaign-Urbana One-to-One Mentoring Program

Paris Brown graduated from Urbana High School on May 25th, 2008. He met John Schmitt when he was in 2nd grade at Kenwood Elementary School. Paris has probably attended more C-U One-to-One Banquets than any other students: two per year. He regularly helped with elementary banquets while his mentor was the Scholarship Foundation President in addition to attending the MS/HS banquet as a “mentee.” Paris hopes to attend Parkland College in the fall. “John has played a huge role in my reaching graduation. He’s helped me with hard homework through the years and given me a reason to stay out of trouble.”
