Why Mentoring?
Mentoring is good for your business and your community. It helps young people to tap into their potential enabling them to achieve more than they believed they could, motivating them to take strides in their education, and preparing them to walk through your doors one day as a motivated and qualified employee.
An investment in mentoring can also enhance your company and corporate culture by strengthening employee relationships and satisfaction, and value of diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging.

What is Topgolf?
In short, it's a sports entertainment complex that features an inclusive, high-tech golf game that everyone can enjoy. Paired with an outstanding food and beverage menu, climate-controlled hitting bays, and music, every Topgolf has an energetic hum that you can feel right when you walk through the door. The fun part is deciding which of the more than a dozen games to play first!
Who has the best aim? Who has the hardest drive? Each ball features a tracker that instantly reports results. The scoreboard doesn't lie—so get ready for some friendly competition!
