Every child has the right to an education. But not every child has the same opportunity for an education. The Higher Education Mentoring Initiative (HEMI) aims to change that.
HEMI provides Hamilton County foster youth with access to a personal academic mentor. This stable one-on-one relationship begins in high school and focuses on preparing youth for the completion of post-secondary education, job training or military service.
We are seeking volunteers committed to support youth in a holistic manner, who will work to build a trusting relationship between the mentor and mentee.
- Mentors commit to a long-term mentoring relationship with a minimum of two hours per week of personal interactions, including connecting in person by telephone, e-mail, texting, etc.
- Additionally, volunteers commit to attending a HEMI activity once monthly.
