Graduating high school students from urban and rural areas of Appalachia are stepping into a new world of opportunities thanks to CNX Foundation’s Mentorship Academy. Founded by Nick Deiuliis, President and Chief Executive Officer of CNX Resources, the Mentorship Academy prepares 11th and 12th graders from communities throughout the region to become impactful citizens, workers and family members through transformative learning, community engagement and leadership development. During the 2023 Academy graduation, students, program partners, mentors and CNX leaders sat down with the Digital Wildcatters to discuss the program, and how it has transformed student opportunities for the future.
In October of 2023, the Mentorship Academy was recognized at the “Magic of Mentoring” dinner – alongside the Heyward House and the Consortium for Public Education – as an organization deeply committed to championing the region’s youth. This video shows how the academy isn’t just about education – it’s about collaboratively opening doors and reshaping the future together.
