Beginning with the 2023-2024 school year, mentors will participate in social events and activities to build relationships and trust with mentees and their families. Ongoing one-on-one contact with a carefully selected mentee and their family will be developed to support them as they:
- reflect on dreams and ambitions and explore ways to realize them.
- research colleges and/or training opportunities.
- complete school and scholarship applications.
- hone interview skills.
- explore opportunities.
- succeed in their transition to higher education.
Responsibilities:
Once vetted, mentors will need to make a 1 to 2-year commitment of approximately 100 hours per school year.
Attend 8 hours of training on communication, cultural sensitivity, vocational and educational selection, scholarship application process and more.
Attend follow up sessions or supervisory meetings.
Have weekly contact with mentees.
At critical points a mentor may spend up to 4 to 8 hours per week helping a mentee
Bilingual applicants are encouraged to apply. However, bilingualism is not a necessity, interpreters will be available as needed.
