Jr. Mentor Application

To support the ongoing learning of youth, mentors will be engaged from across the city. These mentors will include college students from nearby universities as well as high school students.

An apprenticeship program for mentoring will be implemented through YouMedia (and its accompanying social network) that enable high school students, in addition to college students, to earn service-learning credit for participation in the program.

The goal is to develop a volunteer youth digital corps that will provide mentorship and support to youth involved in YouMedia, as well as provide services related to digital media (e.g., building websites for local businesses, etc) to their local communities and schools.
