The New York State Mentoring Program is hosting a "Day of Mentoring" for 8th-grade students at a Schenectady middle school on Thursday, May 21st, from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
This event is designed to bridge the gap between education and aspiration. Our primary goals for the day are:
We're looking from volunteers from all industries. If you're a social media influencer, athletes, veterinarian, engineers, artists, nurse and a plumber or mechanic, it's a plus. But we are mainly looking for individuals to share their wisdom and career path with the students.
Next Steps: All volunteers will be required to attend a one-hour virtual Mentor Training session prior to the event.
