L to R Ninth grade students at Nicollet Jr High Tatiana Smithson-Brown, McKenzie Roades, Kelsey Roades and share a laugh with a mentor Darlene Miller while looking some photos. A mentorship program for students about to enter their first year of high school has spread from Bloomington to a handful of south-metro schools and buildings in Eden Prairie and White Bear Lake. Hope for Tomorrow -- which at most schools is just for girls and female mentors -- pairs each student with a business owner or career woman. They meet once a month for activities, journaling or field trips to colleges and local businesses.
