On behalf of Mission Graduates , we would like to invite you to volunteer as High School Mentors to work with our incoming High School seniors as they prepare for their college applications. Every summer, Mission Graduates pairs Writing Partners with high school students to work one-on-one on writing their personal insight questions (PIQ) for college applications and scholarships, meeting weekly throughout the academic year. Writing Partners are able to cultivate meaningful relationships with youth and provide them with much-needed support in such an important chapter of their lives. If you are looking to give back to your community, develop meaningful relationships, and impact the lives of our San Francisco youth, I encourage you to apply for this volunteer opportunity.
