Mentoring and Readiness for College (M.A.R.C)
What do Pre-College Mentors do?
We are pleased that you are considering mentoring with our Pre-College programs. Currently, you can choose from 3 different options through our office. Each of these options will provide you the opportunity to work directly with a student after school or in the early evening.
Expectations of Mentors:
- Commitment to meet each week with assigned student(s) (15-20 hours or more per semester)
- Attend all staff meetings and trainings
- Engagement during all tutoring and enrichment activities
- Plan and facilitate at least 1 enrichment activity (varies across sites)
A typical Tuesday/Thursday evening session follows this general format:
4:45 Mentors arrive at Centennial Hall and meet in room 3100
4:45-5:00 Mentees arrive
5:00-5:30 We eat dinner family style and create a "soft landing" for the evening
5:30-6:00 Break out into 2 or 3 different classrooms and work on homework, studying, or other academic activities. This will vary based on the particular student you're working with
6:00-6:30 Students can continue to work on homework or academic practice. Students can also complete career readiness and/or college prep activities.
6:30-6:55 Mentors lead enrichment activities. These include arts and crafts, games, Kahoot quizzes, teambuilding challenges, etc.
6:55-7:00 Clean up, pack up, and dismiss students
