During National Mentoring Month, Award-Winning Peer Power Model Emerges as a National Blueprint for Student Acceleration & SuccessMemphis, TN, Jan. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- As the nation marks National Mentoring Month in January, an education model rooted in Memphis is drawing national attention for redefining what effective mentoring looks like in America’s schools. Peer Power was founded in 2004 in Memphis, TN. At the heart of the 21-year-old Peer Power program is soul, a human-centered approach that connects students with peer mentors just a few years ahead of them, and soul happens to be the city’s most lasting and legendary export. “Like soul connects straight to your core,” said Peer Power Foundation CEO Cortney Richardson, “Peer Power connects to the heads and hearts of students. It’s been a soulful, life-changing experience for all involved.”
