Additional Information:
Are you a young professional? Do you want to get involved in your community? Mentor a college freshman in Boston!
The ACCESS Mentors Program is seeking young professionals in the Boston area to mentor college freshmen from low-income backgrounds. Our students are graduates of Boston Public High schools and many are the first in their family to attend college.
The Program was designed to provide low-income, first-generation students in Boston with the consistent support of a college graduate. The more caring adults students have in their lives, the more likely they are to persist in school and graduate.
What does being a mentor involve?
- A minimum one year commitment (Summer 2011 – Summer 2012)
- Meeting one-on-one, twice a month with your mentee for 2 hours
- Group meetings at ACCESS every other month
- “Checking-in” with your mentee twice a month by phone, text, or Facebook
- Networking opportunities with other Boston young professionals
- Free tickets to sports games, gift certificates to restaurants, and much more!
How far do I have to travel?
Not far at all! All students in the program attend local schools in Boston
