Needs From: University at Albany

Volunteer: Mentoring

518 ElevatED's Pathways to College program is a long-term college and career prep program working with students beginning in 10th grade in  Albany, Schenectady, and Troy High schools. Students aspire to attend college but lack the financial, academic, and social resources to get there. Students are selected based on financial need and academic promise. 

A mentor is a supportive adult who serves as a role model, advocate, and coach to one college-bound high school Scholar who is participating in our Pathways to College program.

Mentors meet with their Scholars between two and four hours a month for at least one year. Mentors can stay with their Scholars through their senior year of high school.

We are looking for approximately 24 mentors to start working with students this fall. Training and a background check is required.
