The College Prep
Mentoring Program (sponsored by Children Beyond Our Borders, Inc. and Alachua
County Public Schools) is looking for dedicated individuals to serve as college
prep mentors to low-income high school students in Gainesville!
As a mentor,
you will help with all aspects of college prep: understanding and planning for
standardized tests, creating resumes, filling out college applications, editing
essays, applying for scholarships and financial aid, and more! You may also
serve as an outlet for stress and provide support and friendship for your
mentee.
The ultimate
goal of the program is to bridge the educational achievement gap between
students of varying socioeconomic backgrounds by providing low-income and
otherwise disadvantaged students with resources they might not otherwise have
access to.
Priority
Applications are due April 28th at 11:59 pm.
