Paving the Path Forward: The Power of Near-Peer Mentorship with Curious Cardinals

​Do you ever wonder how you can help your child discover a passion? Gain confidence? And how can you support them to succeed? That's where Curious Cardinals come in!

I am so excited to share Curious Cardinals with you by introducing co-founder and CEO, Audrey Wisch, to share its story and mission to help kids unlock their greatest potential by connecting them to their dream college mentors.

​​Jonathan has been exploring his passion for history while working on public speaking with the guidance of his mentor, William, a history major at Yale. Last week Jonathan was just asking us at breakfast if we remembered Reagan’s national address after the Challenger disaster because that is the speech William wants Jonathan to deliver next. He is just loving this so much! He thinks so highly of William as a person, role model, and mentor, and he is enjoying the work they are doing together with public speaking.

Whether it's exploring a new subject with the guidance of a mentor, such as how to code a video game or launch your own sustainable fashion business, or if your child is seeking support in an academic subject where they lack confidence, Curious Cardinals aims to empower students to cultivate authentic interests and find joy in their learning.

Topics we’ll cover:

• ​​Audrey’s founding story as a Stanford dropout (or as she prefers to say, “stop-out”)

• ​​Lauren's experience as a parent with her student learning from an inspiring mentor

• ​​How Curious Cardinals can help your student succeed

• ​​Curious Cardinals’ vision for the future of K-12 education

​​Curious to learn more? Watch them on CNN, read about them in Forbes (where they were recently named Forbes 30 Under 30) or the Stanford Daily.

We hope you join us and in the interim, stay curious:)
