CHAMP Mentoring Program

What is it?

CHAMP Program is a community led student mentoring program for public schools in North Brevard County.  One of the greatest needs for youth is a positive role model to come alongside of them and encourage, motivate, support and navigate them towards a life of success. CHAMP stands for “Community Helps Achieve Maximum Potential”. The mission of the CHAMP program is for successful and caring individuals from the North Brevard community to invest in the lives of youth and empower students to reach their fullest potential.

CHAMP Program was created at Astronaut High School in 2018 with the assistance of Hope for North Brevard, Inc. The goal for the CHAMP program is to be active in all AHS’s feeder schools, adding long term support for local students to be successful in school and life.
