Empower Scholars,
Become a Mentor
In just one hour a week, you can empower scholars to identify their talents and pursue their dreams.
The Mentor Experience
Mentors work with a small group of middle school scholars as they explore high school, college, and career options, and support them in taking steps to access those options. Mentoring curriculum includes writing, reading, and critical thinking activities. No experience is needed! Training, lesson plans, and activities are provided.
Meet Our
Mentors
Higher Achievement’s mentors are key partners to our scholars’ success. In just one hour a week, they empower scholars to identify their talents and pursue their dreams, and build lasting relationships.
“I cherish the opportunity to instill a sense of pride in these young people. It is truly fulfilling to see them embrace challenges and believe in their unlimited potential. Ultimately, every child needs a safe environment where they can simply be themselves. I am proud to be a part of that.”
