The Green Dot Public Schools National Mentorship Program seeks to transform public education by empowering every one of our 14,000+ students to recognize and strive to reach their full potential. Our vision is to help create a world where all students have access to the high-quality education and dynamic professional networks necessary to build pathways to prosperity in the communities we serve.
By providing guidance, accountability, and knowledge, your role is to support your mentee in
career exploration, self-discovery, and social-emotional development. As a mentor you are
consistent, culturally-responsive, and prepared to push your own thinking and the thinking of
your mentee. We ask that you prioritize this relationship and be a consistent presence while
mentees learn to navigate this program.
