Please help to ensure all TN Promise students have a local support system by completing an application at tnAchieves.org/mentors/apply!
Mentors serve as an important resource for students as they transition from high school to college. They provide reminders, serve as a resource and offer encouragement for students as they work to achieve college success. The TN Promise Class of 2022 has applied at rates not seen since before the pandemic; now more mentors are needed to ensure they are supported!
tnAchieves mentoring only requires a one-hour-per-month commitment. In 2022, mentors will be able to choose between mentoring virtually or in person, depending on their preference.
While the time commitment is small, the impact on a student’s life can be significant. Interested volunteers must be 21 years of age, are subject to a background check and must complete a one-hour training session.
tnAchieves is a 501(c)3 non-profit that has provided scholarships with mentor support since 2008. Those interested in applying or learning more can visit www.tnAchieves.org/mentors/apply or contact Tyler Ford at (309) 945-3446.
