Community outreach, mentorship, and STEAM learning come together at the SHIELD Mentor Program. As we prepare for the EagleTron Robotics Team launch on January 10, we invite families, mentors, and partners to be part of what we are building.

Today, we’re honored to share the story of Nilijah, one of our exceptional mentees whose journey reflects everything our mission stands for—leadership, academic excellence, and overcoming adversity.
