Mentors who complete the program receive a stipend, travel reimbursement, and complimentary 1-year membership to The New York Academy of Sciences.
If accepted, mentors will be paired and assigned to teach at a selected summer program site one to three days a week for 45-60 minutes per visit, between July 8 - August 30. Program time is flexible.
