Touchpoint: Take Your Mentor to School Day

We are very excited for this year's Take Your Mentor to School Day! Mentors, this event will give you the unique opportunity of seeing your mentee in his/her own environment. The day will include some, if not all of the following: tour of the school, presentation from the school administration, and the chance to sit in on one or two of your student's classes.  We will be ending the day at our weekly Leadership Institute and a mini March to College Kick-off giving you the chance to not only debrief with your student, but also conduct a face-to-face grade check, and start brainstorming those fundraising ideas.
