What does it mean to be a mentor?
- Each mentor will be assigned to a County high school and will work as part of the school's knoxAchieves team. Each school will have a team leader to provide support to individual mentors.
- Each mentor will be assigned 3-5 students to shepherd through the college application process.
- Mentors will attend a training session in early December that will outline the college application process, define the mentor's specific responsibilities and provide general information about working with students.
- Mentors will work with their assigned students to help them meet the deadlines and complete the paperwork required for ACT testing, the federal financial aid application (FAFSA)*, college application and class enrollment.
