Volunteers will engage with mentees 2-3 times a week via email, phone call, etc., to ensure that students have a competitive personal statement and college application. *The College Essay mentoring commitment lasts until the student has submitted their application(s). Mentors are paired 1 to 1 with a senior (unless they specify otherwise). Mentors will be required to do Live Scan Fingerprinting. * For more information on requirements and guidelines for College Essay Mentoring, click here.
