Why Mentor A Student? | |
Mentoring Works! A study done by Be A Mentor shows that students who have a mentor are 46% less likely to use illegal drugs, 27% less likely to use alcohol, 37% less likely to skip class and 33% less likely to hit someone.
As a high school student I had a host of adults help me through the process of getting ready for college and for life; though never in a formal one-on-one mentor situation, their input and concern made a difference in my life.
This is a call for you to step up and make a difference in the lives of students in Trumbull & Mahoning counties. I promise you will get as much out of the experience as they will.

How Can I Help? |
We recognize everyone can't be a mentor, work and family obligations are some of the challenges faced. But, if you can't mentor, you can still help. There are several ways: pass this information along to other potential mentors, sponsor a mentee (the cost per student is $5000, but any amount will help); volunteer to help raise funds for the mentees, provide comp time to your employees - if they volunteer allow them "time off" during the week; be an advocate - tell everyone you know about the program. If we plan on changing the perception of our community we all have to help educate our students!

About Our Progam... | |
Our mentorship program, LEADING forward, is designed to transform the lives of students. Talented, motivated students have the potential to reach great heights; we will provide the resources to help them get there.
LEADING forward will help low income, first-generation college going students prove that there are no boundaries they can't overcome with hard work, dedication and support! Students will be required to have a GPA of 2.5-3.4 and they must be willing to commit to a four hour Saturday program that will run the course of the academic school year. Mentees will also have the opportunity to attend an on-campus college program designed to help them with not only academics, but also with concerns about transitioning from home to a campus setting.
The program will be led by a group of young professional volunteers who recognize the value of being prepared not only for post-secondary education, but also for life.
