Become a mentor. You can make a difference in the life of a youth, give back to the community and have fun through mentoring.
College Bound AZ is currently accepting applications for Mentors.
Upon completing mentor orientation and training in July, College Bound AZ mentors commit to: meet with their student at least 2 - 4 hours per month for at least 1 school year; participate in group events when possible; and assist their student in setting and achieving personal goals for college. A mentor helps students connect the dots to their future. We meet at Benedictine University, 225 E Main St, Mesa. Contact us at 602 550-3161 or via email at elizabeth.paulus@collegeboundaz.org.
