Become a mentor for middle school students and empower them for future careers!
How do mentors make an impact?
Volunteer mentors join us in the classroom to support a new approach to teaching and learning - one that will help students to develop the skills to thrive in the 21st century economy. Mentors build trusting relationships with students that are critical for learning and growth, and collaborate with educators to deliver hands-on learning projects to students that transform classrooms into innovative learning communities.
Mentors will commit to attending weekly classroom visits with students and are intentionally matched with students according to their skillsets, work experiences, classroom needs, and project needs.
What will you do?
- Work with multiple small groups of students to develop and complete an experienced-based learning project.
- Provide insight into future careers by connecting project skills to learnings from your career and educational background.
- Support students' presentation skills, critical thinking, collaborative problem solving, and provide feedback on student’s work.
- Mentors work closely with Citizen Schools staff and teachers to mentor students along this hands-on learning journey.
- We match you with a classroom that meets your schedule!
What is the commitment and training like?
- Volunteers commit to attend weekly, (1) hour-long classroom sessions; 4-8 classroom sessions in total
- Training/Support will be provided
