Become a Mentor
The Clark State Scholars Program is designed to encourage and empower students who face social and economic barriers to work toward a college education.
Mentors meet with scholars once each month for approximately one hour at participating high schools to build meaningful relationships and support their personal development and post-secondary goals. Mentors serve as valuable role models and motivators, providing a consistent support system to their scholars.
Qualities We Look for In Our Mentors:
- Committed to building long-lasting and trusting relationships
- Demonstrates achievement and success
- Has a desire to share experiences and help students develop a sense of self-awareness and passion
- Leads student conversations with empathy and respect
Expectations: Mentors must commit to participating in the program for at least one year, with the intention of mentoring a group of scholars for four years through grades 9 to 12.
