This program is a platform for exposure to new topics, new experiences, and new opportunities. Real Life Mentors enriches students’ lives and introduces them to new and exciting ways to make a difference, while learning about something that they may not have known about before.

Real Life Mentors, an initiative born out of the Real Life organization created by Reese Large during the COVID-19 pandemic, is a transformative program designed to connect young minds with inspiring role models. The project focuses on engaging students by introducing them to a diverse array of nonprofits, community leaders, and mentors. Through interactive sessions and meaningful connections, Real Life Mentors broadens students' horizons, exposes them to impactful organizations, and nurtures their potential to become community leaders and independent thinkers. By fostering inspiration and empowerment at a critical stage in their development, Real Life Mentors equips young individuals with the tools and confidence to strive for greatness and make a positive impact on the world around them.
