Are you interested in giving back to your community through direct service?
Have you benefited from having a mentor?
Do you want to complete community service hours in a convenient, consistent, and rewarding way?
Germanna Community College is currently recruiting volunteers to mentor college students. We are actively looking for reliable caring adults to help guide college students through transitioning times. Germanna offers mentoring opportunities through both demographic-specific and general mentoring programs.
The new College-wide Mentoring Program addition will target the general student population, allowing all students who want a mentor to be matched with one.
Great Expectations is a statewide program for students who are currently or were formerly in foster care. This program provides students with specialized advising and guidance throughout their college experience.
Early College is a program for motivated high schoolers participating in the Germanna Scholars and Gladys P. Todd Academy programs. These students are 11th and 12th graders from Culpeper County, Spotsylvania
County, and Fredericksburg City schools.
Mentoring is a fantastic way to give back to the community, expand a resume and interpersonal skills, as well as complete community service hours in a consistent rewarding way. Virtual and in-person opportunities are available.
Please reach out to Hope Davis (hcdavis@germanna.edu) for more information.

Mission Statement
Make a Difference - Become a Mentor! At Germanna, mentoring is a valued asset to students, faculty, and all who are involved. We are in the process of creating a college-wide mentorship program that allows any student from any background to be paired with a trusted adult mentor. The successes from our current programs i.e. the Gladys P. Todd Academy, Great Expectations, and most recently Germanna M.E.N., have shown that mentoring has had a positive influence over our students in their academic lives as well as outside the confines of the college.
Description
Our mentoring program is designed to assist students to be successful while working toward their goals at Germanna. Mentors are fully equipped to provide the resources and support throughout the course of this relationship. This program will also allow students to explore future careers, network, plan for life after Germanna, work on developing communication and leadership skills, and much more.
