THE MENTOR PROGRAM 

Mentorship:

 The Academy’s Junior Mentor Program is awesome! The juniors are queried as to their aspirations about college, career, community contribution, and hobbies. Community business leaders and other important community members are then matched with our students to form a partnership during the year.

Benefits to mentor are:

• pride in helping a junior who has little support presently,
• connection to the next generation,
• attending regular luncheons to talk with their mentees,
• having mentee visit them at work or perhaps to go to a major league baseball game,
• being a professional role model for a student who has none,
• giving back to the community in a great way,
• help break down stereotypes and hindrances among diverse people,
• guidance in the areas of additional education, motivation, and career choice,
• to learn about high school culture and to see what students experience today, and,
• to be a great listener to a young adult who needs to communicate.
