Become a mentor for middle and high school students and empower them for future careers! How do mentors make an impact? Volunteer mentors join us in the classroom to help students develop the skills to thrive. Mentors build trusting relationships with students that are critical for their learning and growth, and in turn our students thrive while working with mentors that look like them, seeing themselves in the potential of various career paths. Mentors will commit to attending weekly classroom visits with students and are intentionally matched with students according to their skillsets, work experiences, classroom needs, and project needs. What will you do? Work with multiple small groups of students to develop and complete a hands-on learning project. Provide insight into future careers by connecting project skills to learnings from your career and educational background. Support students' presentation skills, critical thinking, collaborative problem solving, and provide feedback on student’s work. Mentors work closely with Citizen Schools staff and teachers to mentor students along this hands-on learning journey. What is the commitment and training like? Volunteers commit to attend weekly, (1) hour-long classroom sessions; 4-8 classroom sessions in total Training/Support will be provided Citizen Schools is a national nonprofit organization, serving underserved students across the country. We believe that all students can thrive through hands-on learning and career mentors. Through our programs, we bring together students, teachers, administrators, industry visionaries, volunteers, and community based organizations to catalyze collaborative relationships. The result transforms education to prepare students with the skills they will need to succeed and be empowered for future career pathways.
