Mochary Foundation has partnered with the Friends of Island Academy to mentor youth who have previously been incarcerated at Rikers Island. One at a time, Matt Mochary mentors the kids recommended to him by FOIA. The goal is to have each mentee get and keep a job. The mentoring program began on January 14th, 2008. Three weeks later, Kendrick, the first mentee, got a full-time job.
