What are a mentor's responsibilities?
Learn about the responsibilities here. Please only apply if you’re certain that you can commit time to your position and carry out your tasks responsibly.
The goal of our mentorship program is to provide accurate advice straight from a college student.
A mentor-mentee relationship is built on honesty and transparency, so our mentors must uphold those qualities. Mentors must be eager and able to learn more about the college admissions process through our short training process. Mentors must be willing to help high school students in their journey of applying to college and be open to sharing advice, tips, and their own experiences.
Once you’re matched with a mentee, please make sure you’re sticking to our guidelines.
Please note that all volunteers are subject to a background check.
