  • *BECOME A COLLEGE MENTOR!*
    College Mentors work one-on-one with high school students in the Ascend program to support them in achieving their college and post-graduation goals. Mentors meet bi-weekly with their mentees—either in person or via Zoom—to check in, provide encouragement, and help them stay on track. Support may include researching colleges and careers, preparing applications and essays, exploring gap year options, and finding scholarships.

    Mentors are not expected to be experts in college or career planning, nor are they responsible for student outcomes. Instead, they serve as supportive guides—offering perspective, accountability, and encouragement as students navigate their next steps after high school.

  • College Mentoring



  • WE NEED MENTORS!

     

    Mentors work with youth in Solo Sessions, sharing their creative passions & knowledge, and helping them develop their skill in your craft. No teaching experience necessary.

     

    Mentors match with a youth based on your creative experience and youth interest. Mentors will meet with their mentee 1 hour per week for 12 weeks.

     

    While this program is based in Baltimore (1100 E Fayette St), we offer both in-person and virtual option. You will meet with your mentee in our music lab in Baltimore, or through Zoom video conferencing. Our program will support in providing equipment, resources and support needed for successful sessions.

     

     If you are interested, or know someone who may be interested, please encourage them to attend one of our mentor info sessions

     

    New mentors or mentors have not been part of the program for over a year must attend a mentor orientation before being matched.
