be a mentor
Would you like to join our movement? Consider becoming a mentor. Our students can greatly benefit from a supportive mentor. By dedicating your time, you can provide valuable guidance and real-time assistance to students in various areas, including college applications, art/media portfolio reviews, college essays, scholarship advice, and housing. Additionally, our students may require mentorship for transitions that they cannot receive from their families, such as name changes, doctor's appointments, visits to the DMV, consultations for surgery and hormone replacement, birth certificate replacements, and revisions. We will pair you with a suitable match based on your and their backgrounds, preferences, educational and work history, and goals.
