Discover the strategies and support that transformed Jamar Howard's life.  In this episode, we dig into the real impact of mentorship on young people — how the right teacher, coach, or community leader can boost a kid's confidence and open doors they never knew existed. Mentorship isn't just guidance; for many young people, it's transformation.  Born to a teen mom, Jamar found his drive through Breakthrough Miami, a program where students teach each other. Now an 18-year-old Breakthrough Scholar heading to Syracuse, he shares how grit and self-reliance helped him defy the odds — and how he's working to do the same for others.
