tnAchieves

We are all very busy in our jobs, and we have many responsibilities both in our homes with our families and in our communities. I’m sharing this information for you to consider based on your own situation.

You may not know that I am a first generation college student. When I learned of this opportunity to mentor other first generation college bound students, I couldn’t say no. My success is due to many good mentors.

Please watch the youtu.be video. If you are interested, training in going on right now and through the next 30 days or so. Training is one hour. There is a one hour meeting in January and a one hour meeting in March. All other contact with your mentees is via telephone, text or email. If you have time and the inclination, please consider changing the life of students in your area.
