The legacy you leave will positively impact our community for many years to come. With love, gratitude and appreciation, Your friends from Jóvenes Adelante. Introducing Lisa Goodman, New Dir. Mentor Programs In Lisa’s 4th year as a teacher, her superintendent asked her to become a mentor for the teachers in the district including the more experienced teachers. Lisa humbly accepted the challenge. In this role, Lisa discovered the power of mentoring. She learned that an effective mentor helps others see new possibilities within themselves and that both parties grow through the mentoring relationship.  Later in her career, Lisa became a full-time mentor for beginning teachers and also provided ongoing professional development and mentoring for experienced teachers, other mentors, and administrators. She then became a principal of two elementary schools and ended her career as the Director of New Teacher Support and Development for her school district. Lisa and her husband, Mike are thrilled to live in and be a part of the amazing San Miguel community. “I feel very fortunate and honored to be involved with Jóvenes Adelante, its highly committed team and its inspiring students. Being involved with Jóvenes Adelante will provide something I long for, a life filled with purpose and meaning that will also benefit the community.” We invite you to be part of this mission to empower the next generation of university or postgraduate students, and to consider sponsoring one of them. Your generosity will make a significant difference in their lives and in the future of our communities. INVEST in a Student / DONATE Now No one does it alone!
