PCC Equity & Empowerment Mentorship Program: Become a Mentor for a Roosevelt HS student!
Posted by hannah.cherry
The Equity & Empowerment Mentorship Program supports Roosevelt H.S. students who are interested in going to college and changing their lives through education.
As a Mentor with the program, PCC students will participate in group meetings which bring college Mentors and Roosevelt Mentee students together. These meetings are interactive and engaging in order to cultivate a sense of active participation among the Mentors and Mentees. The program’s focus is around identifying and building upon students strengths and empowering them to pursue secondary education. The program endeavors to center the students’ voice, lived experience and needs through inquiry rather than assuming what students need based on our own lived experiences.
The current time commitment is 4 hours a month beginning January 2017.
- A 1 hour training will take place on November 14th for Mentors at PCC Cascade.
- There will also be a 3 hour Kick Off Event at Roosevelt with Mentors and Mentees on December 16th. Mentors/Mentees will be assigned during the Kick Off event and, in January, Mentors will begin scheduling regular meetings with their mentee(s).
