Which was founded and ran by my mentor Mrs. Laurie Moline. I connected with the students in our program on a "one-to-one" bases. Got to know them personally. Their strengths & weaknesses. Their interest & goals in life. Than we made connections with local businesses for career exposure and mentoring opportunities for the students. We would than host events for our students to visit these companies and match the students interest with related companies in our area. We wanted to "bridge the opportunity gap" that is not being filled. Find great opportunities for students to follow after high school & possibly find Mentors within those companies that wouldn't mind spending the time to empower and mentor the students. I also entered in all the data into our database. Everything from contact info of Mentor & Mentees, their goals & interests, notes from talking with them & many other important data. Show less
