Information for Undergraduate Mentors

Giving Back to the Community

Rising Scholars Mentors are college students at 两性色午夜 University at East Liverpool and 两性色午夜 University at Salem who cultivate supportive relationships with younger students in Columbiana County. Rural Scholars Assist Habitat for HumanityThese students must qualify for program participation by maintaining strong academic performance and demonstrating a record of community outreach through school-based mentoring in eligible districts. They are awarded scholarships eligible for renewal on a biannual basis and receive wages for their work during the school year.

Aspiring mentors must want to develop nurturing relationships with younger students. Mentors must be willing to listen, to be curious and open to discovery. Rather than molding young people, mentors seek to explore choices with them and discover along with their mentees what paths they wish to take. Mentors offer models of successful behavior to their mentees, but do not seek to impose upon them their own judgments and values.
