MENTORING - Minds Matter DC Mentor

Our volunteers build relationships with local DC high school students by broadening their dreams and preparing them for college success.

Each student is paired with two volunteer mentors and meets in-person every Saturday during the school year from 12-2 in Washington, DC to work on essays, summer program selection, and school selection.

Our mentors act as catalysts for the students, providing them with individual support and guidance, allowing each student to fulfill his or her potential and make the leap to college.

Mentor Expectations:

• Bachelor's Degree
• Act as a positive influence and a role model for students
• Be a strong communicator to keep mentee, peers, and chapter leadership informed
• Attend 80% of the sessions from September through May
• Time commitment: 3-4hrs/week
