While a STEM-focused mentoring effort has its value for the world's future infrastructure, the act of youth mentorship itself has an ever-heightened value. Here is a quote from the Big Brothers Big Sisters, a youth focused-organization Bentley actively supports through corporate sponsorship of "Beyond School Walls":
Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS), the largest youth mentoring organization in the country, shows that students with a "Big Brother" or "Big Sister" have better academic performance, attitudes, and behaviors over the course of a school year.
– BBBS, Philadelphia, PA
