Circle of Progress
Assisting the Next Generation Towards Success
Our Mission
When young students face the future without guidance, they move forward uncertain and alone. The Circle of Progress serves to change this, bridging the gap between high school and university by creating a network of mentorship, where older students support younger ones through academic, personal, and professional challenges. By passing down experience and building direction, we create a lasting "circle" of leadership, support, and progress.

Testimonials
"Joining the Circle of Progress was one of the best decisions I made in my first year of university. I was overwhelmed and unsure about how to navigate everything—from academics to just finding my place. My mentor didn’t just give me advice—they listened, shared their own experiences, and made me feel like I wasn’t alone. Now, I feel more confident in who I am and where I’m going. This isn’t just a mentorship program—it’s a community that genuinely cares."
"Before joining the Circle of Progress, I felt completely lost transitioning from high school to university. I didn’t know what to expect or who to turn to. But having a mentor who had been through it all made such a huge difference. They helped me with everything—from choosing courses to managing stress and even preparing for internships. Now, I'm mentoring a younger student myself. It’s amazing to be part of a community where we lift each other up and grow together. This program truly lives up to its name—it's a circle of support that never ends."
"Through the Circle of Progress, I had the incredible opportunity to shadow a doctor who also served as my mentor. Watching her interact with patients, manage a busy schedule, and still take the time to explain things to me was inspiring. It wasn’t just about learning medicine—it was about seeing what it truly means to care for people. She shared her journey from high school to med school and beyond, and it helped me see a clear path forward. That experience confirmed my passion for medicine and gave me the confidence to pursue it seriously."
