Mentor 2.0

Mentor 2.0 is a technology-enhanced mentoring program focused on supporting Cottonwood High School students in preparing for college and/or career.

Students at Cottonwood High experience many barriers in school due to inequitable systems within and external to their education. Mentors provide an additional positive adult role model and work with their Mentees on goal setting, being resilient, staying on-track in high school, and preparing for college or life after graduation.

Time Commitment: Weekly electronic communications and monthly in-person or virtual meetings (all events are virtual through 2020). Mentors are asked to commit to a minimum of 12 months, but with the majority of matches lasting 3 to 4 years to see your mentee through graduation.
