The College Mentor Program supports seniors who are the first in their family to pursue postsecondary education including professional/technical certificates and academic degrees. Students are matched with community volunteer “mentors” who walk them through writing powerful personal statements, researching collegiate options, submitting financial aid applications and more!
Seniors in the College Mentor Program are:
- The "first generation" in their family to attend college (not including siblings)
- Eligible for the free/reduced lunch program
- On track to graduate with a minimum GPA of 2.5
- Planning on continuing their education or career training beyond high school
- Open to constructive feedback on essays and writing prompts
- Reliable and timely communicators with their mentor via email, text, and phone
- Motivated to open doors for yourself! Mentors are here to help but you have to put in the hard work!
