College Mentor Program

The College Mentor Program connects high school seniors with community members to explore a wide range of future paths. Whether a student is the first in their family to consider higher education, interested in trade school, a non-college path, or even a local job, our mentors are here to help. Starting with the Class of 2026, the program is open to all seniors and provides personalized guidance on everything from crafting a powerful personal statement and researching options to navigating financial aid.

Seniors who join the program are:

First-generation students (not including siblings) OR interested in career training or a job after high school
Eligible for the free/reduced lunch program
On track to graduate with a minimum GPA of 2.5
Committed to continuing their education or career training after high school
Open to feedback on essays and writing
Reliable and timely communicators with their mentor
Motivated to put in the hard work to achieve their goals!

This is a flexible, non-committal role designed to fit your schedule. Applications are welcome year-round! We are actively seeking:
