Mentoring That

Makes A Difference

Advantage Lancaster is a non-profit organization that provides fun after-school programs, real-life lessons and application skills, and academic mentoring to students of the greater Lancaster, Pennsylvania area. 

Why Advantage Lancaster?

As parents, guardians, teachers, and members of society, we want what's best for our children. We hope to give them a head start in life by helping them develop their talents and guiding them down the right path. One great way to do this is through mentoring, which can make a real difference in a child's life. Advantage Lancaster is an after-school program of Lancaster, PA, and has been making a positive impact on kids for years, helping them develop skills and mindsets to blaze their own brilliant paths in the world.

Our cornerstone belief is that all children can develop and become positive members of society when they are given the opportunities to be successful. All participants, after completing the Advantage Lancaster program, will be equipped with the skills and aptitude needed to navigate their way through their primary academic career and on to some form of higher education, thus increasing their opportunities to succeed.

"Being a part of Advantage Lancaster helped me build friendships that I still have. Many that are near and dear to my heart to this day. It gave me mentors and helped me become a mentor to younger folks. Going to new York and Watching Broadway plays broadened my horizons and viewpoint. Advantage Lancaster also helped me learn how to engage in diverse settings. It impacted the way I carry myself."

How it Works

Advantage Lancaster began as a way to keep students learning through the summer when school’s out. Though we now have a program year-round, our summer semester is still the bedrock of our mission of mentorship as we engage youth with opportunities that prepare them for life after grade school. Check out the video above to see what it’s all about! Or, see the advantage for yourself by signing up for our after-school programs of Lancaster!
