The single
most important factor in a young person’s success is a consistent relationship
with a caring, supportive adult. But one in three young people grow up
without a mentor.
You can
make a transformative difference in the life of a Minneapolis high school
student by becoming an AchieveMpls Graduation Coach during the 2016-17 academic
year. Through six hours of volunteer time per month, you can offer personalized
support to help students stay on track, graduate on time and make a great plan
for life after high school.
We provide
the curriculum, structure and training. You bring the wisdom, encouragement and
support!
Here’s what
one student participant said: “My Graduation Coach helped me with college
applications, understand the FAFSA, find possible job opportunities, and even
talked about prom ideas. I think the best part overall was helping me discuss
my career choice and talking about business classes and connections. I think
I’ll be a success because of her.”
Apply by
June 30 at www.achievempls.org/GraduationCoaches.
