“Joining Mentoring America has allowed me to help students in my community foster their potential into tangible success by being an accessible resource and guide. As a mentor I am able to provide hands-on-help, guidance, and reassurance to my mentees and would highly suggest that others get involved. Joining this organization will not only improve you communication and leadership skills, but will allow you to build a deeper sense of connection with your community at large.“

“I joined MAC because it is truly a blessing to serve my community by directly impacting the lives of my future peers. On top of that, I’ve learned almost all of what I know about the journey through secondary education by trial and error, so it is extremely rewarding to share experiences that would have helped me through the transition.”

I love this program so much because I really have a broad perspective of how to go into college, how to prepare, and what mindset I should have.
