You’re invited to learn more about our organization, who makes a great volunteer, and what you need to know about becoming a mentor!
Path to College fearlessly clears the path for overlooked students to get into the best colleges with the best scholarships.
We pair highly motivated, low-income students with a one-on-one mentor as part of our exclusive academic fellowship program. With the firm belief that low-income students with high academic aspirations need targeted guidance along the path to college, we recruit committed professionals to encourage our students, hold them accountable, and help them achieve their goals.
Our ideal mentor is a local, experienced, and committed professional who wants to help motivated, low-income students -- our mission is to expand minds and ignite potential. The most effective mentors serve as positive role models and friends and take the lead in building a relationship grounded in mutual respect, goal-setting, and self-esteem building. Desirable qualities include being a willing listener who is patient, supportive, encouraging, and tolerant of diversity.
We're eager to get to know you, share our "Best & Brightest" Mentoring Program, and tell you about the incredibly bright students we serve!
