Do you want to give back to your community but have very little time? For just five hours each month, mentoring is an incredible way to support a high school student in your community. Our mentor program pairs a student with a professional adult who can offer support, advice, and guidance during a student’s final years of high school and the critical post-secondary planning process.
Mentoring can improve a student’s attitude towards school, enhance his/her confidence, and afford the invaluable opportunity to interact with a positive role model.
Thurgood Marshall Academy makes mentoring easy. Throughout the year, we offer training and support for our mentors, plan interactive events for mentor and students, and organize happy hours for our volunteers. One Saturday morning a month, Thurgood Marshall Academy mentors and students gather to participate in a variety of fun and enriching activities. Past Mentor Day events have included:
- Basketball games
- Museum scavenger hunts
- IMAX movies
- Bowling
- College campus visits
Please consider mentoring. For an application, please visit our website or contact Jessica Sher at (202) 563-6862 x149 or by e-mail.
