A student-to-student mentoring effort known as the Athena Project has just finished its spring semester session, held over 10 weeks in the Peralta Hacienda Historical Park in Oakland's Fruitvale District.
Sponsored by the California College of the Arts, the Athena Project brings together 12 juniors and seniors from the college with a group of middle school-age students in grades six through eight from the United for Success Academy, a short walking distance from the park.
