SEEDLING TO HONOR CTN PEER MENTOR VICTOR SAENZ
CTN Peer Mentor, Victor Saenz, along with four others, will be honored at Seedlings 9th Annual Fab Five Gala on April 23. Each year, Seedling honors five local heroes who have significantly impacted the
lives of youth in the community, and raises vital funds to create opportunities for thousands of
children affected by parental incarceration in Central Texas.
This year’s hybrid model hosts $5,000+ VIP sponsors on the lawn of the Four Seasons-Austin for dinner and
drinks while safely distancing before a program that kicks off at 7:00 PM. The program will be live streamed with live auction, honoree awards, testimonials and Fund a Need.
Seedling launched its Mentor Program in February 2006 at the request of a group of school principals who were concerned about the growing number of children affected by the incarceration of one or both of their parents. Seedling recruits volunteers from the community, matches them with eligible children and offers ongoing support to both children and mentors. Our mentors provide stable, long-term relationships for the students that can help them develop and maintain positive attitudes towards school.
