Descripción
College Bound, Inc. serves students in grades 8–12 attending public and public charter schools throughout the Washington, D.C., metropolitan area. We support students from diverse backgrounds by providing free academic mentoring, tutoring, SAT/ACT preparation, college and career guidance, and resources to help them navigate the path to higher education and future success.
Volunteers are an essential part of College Bound mission. Through our Academic Mentoring Program, we pair students one-on-one with college-educated volunteer mentors who provide academic support, encouragement, guidance, and accountability.
Volunteers can support our work by:
- Providing one-on-one academic mentoring and tutoring.
- Helping students strengthen their study skills and build confidence.
- Supporting college preparation, career exploration, and goal setting.
- Serving as positive role models and helping students navigate challenges.
- Sharing their professional experiences and introducing students to new career pathways.
Our primary qualification for academic mentors is having a college degree and a commitment to supporting students’ academic and personal growth. We welcome individuals who are dependable, patient, encouraging, and willing to build meaningful mentoring relationships.
Ultimately, we want every student to feel supported, encouraged, and equipped to pursue their goals. By investing in mentorship, expanding access to opportunities, and building strong community partnerships, we can help more boys and young men recognize their potential and envision successful futures.
