Mentors primarily come from the general membership, but may occasionally include community volunteers.  The mentor’s role is to come prepared to inspire, teach, and guide his/her students to do the hard work of learning and educating themselves.  An excellent mentor meets children where they are and finds ways to see their next best step in progressing in their individual leadership skills.  (See VMASK in Section 2.3).

Mentor applications will be reviewed and considered by the entire Executive Board.
