Ascenso Monarca – Rise, Lead, Inspire

Empoderando a la próxima generación. Comparte tu conocimiento. Crea un impacto duradero.

At Sueño Monarca, we use "Ascenso" to signify promotion, ascent, and growth within a network of community. Through Ascenso Monarca, we connect immigrant youth and young professionals with mentors who have real-world experience in fields like beauty, mechanics, business, education, and more.

We are currently building our first team of 10 mentors before expanding the program to schools and youth agencies.
Now is the time to get involved and become a founding mentor!

By becoming a mentor, you will:

  1. Guide an aspiring professional in your field.

  2. Share your expertise and experience to help shape someone’s future.

  3. Be a role model for a young person navigating their career path.

  4. Join a network of dedicated professionals making a real impact.

Who Can Be a Mentor?

We’re looking for dedicated professionals, tradespeople, entrepreneurs, and creatives who want to share their journey. Ideal mentors include:

✔ Licensed beauticians, estheticians, or barbers

✔ Mechanics, electricians, or skilled trade workers

✔ Small business owners and entrepreneurs

✔ College students, educators, or professionals in any field

✔ Anyone passionate about guiding and uplifting the next generation!

We ask all mentors to commit to the following:
