AMP! Metro Richmond is a vibrant mentoring program in the Richmond Region where adults and youth meet weekly to share interests, learn from each other, and "amplify" their perspectives on what can be as they develop their friendship.
Originating in 2006, AMP! is normally a school-based mentoring program. However, in an effort to keep Boushall students connected and supported in these unprecedented times, and to keep everyone safe and healthy, we will be conducting mentoring virtually via Zoom for the entire 20/21 school year. We are looking for guest speakers to join us for a "one-off" volunteer experience. We are hoping to find guests who will speak, educate and engage our students and their mentors in conversation about topics that are relevant to 11-14 year olds.
Topics could include, but not limited to:
- Bullying
- Social Media Safety
- Motivational speaking
- Inspirational stories
- Virtual tours of interesting places
- Investigating various careers
- Jobs for teenagers
- Social Equity
- Self Care

REQUIREMENTS
- This is a 1-2 hr time commitment. It would be ideal if speakers could present to both of our mentoring groups which occur on Tuesday from 5-6pm and Wednesday from 12:30-1:30pm. However, if only available for one of those slots, that is acceptable.
