How Mentorship Took Jamar Howard From the Odds Against Him to Syracuse
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
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.
