What exactly do mentors and mentees do?
Mentors and high school students or younger college students (called mentees) will meet several times in one of three ways. Mentors can expect to work with up to two mentees, providing a minimum of 16 hours of one-on-one time spent mentoring. Mentors will be responsible for sharing values, skills, perspectives, attitudes and proficiencies, such as study skillsand self-advocacy. This allows the mentee to build skills and knowledge while attaining his/her development goals. Conversely, it provides the opportunity for the experienced party to further enhance his/her skill and knowledge areas by continuously reassessing and building upon those areas.
