    HOLA mentors and students develop long-term relationships to ensure the success of each HOLA student. Mentors are asked to commit to supporting 1-3 mentees 1x a week for about an hour from February 18th to April 29th.

    Throughout this session, mentors will support high school seniors by:

    • Assist students in developing their college list
    • Brainstorm, revise, and refine personal statements and college essays
    • Provide youth, college, and career mentorship
    • Build long-lasting mentorships with the future leaders of our community!

    What are the Requirements?

    • Mentors must have a Bachelor's Degree or higher.
    • Ability to commit to meeting with mentees 1x a week on Wednesdays @ 6 PM - 7 PM.
    • Attend 1 of the Mentor Orientations on February 8th @ 6 PM to 7 PM (in person) or February 15th @ 6 PM - 7 PM (via Zoom).
