Abstract	AT&T's Aspire Program focuses not only on significant philanthropic support, but also on the time, talents, and passion of many of their employees nationwide, who have teamed up with nonprofits to help create and implement meaningful programs for school and career success, particularly for students at risk of not graduating high school. This includes giving back to the communities where its employees live and work; a strong focus on improving high school graduation rates through research, national action, and raising awareness and supporting evidence-based programs; and support for mentoring opportunities that expose students to the world of work and help them gain the skills they will need to succeed in the jobs of the future. This white paper explores the work of the Aspire Mentoring Academy from perspectives of AT&T leadership to better understand the overarching themes that drive the work, and the vision for the future. It also showcases the experiences of the AT&T employees who serve as mentors to understand their perspectives on why they choose to serve in this way, and the value it adds to their communities. And finally, the paper explores the experiences of the Aspire Mentoring Academy nonprofit organizations, and the value they find from being a part of this work. (ERIC).
