    Description

    Help Inspire the Next Generation of Engineers - Volunteer as an Academic Mentor

    Community Resources’ Academic Mentors Project creates opportunities for high-achieving, ambitious 5th – 12th grade Denver Public School students who have a passion or interest in a particular topic to connect with community volunteers who share the same passion.

    The program is currently recruiting a mechanical engineer to work with middle school student eager to learn more about a career in mechanical engineering. Volunteers are asked to commit a total of six hours over the course of 3 to 6 meetings. All mentorships begin and end in the current school year.
