To connect students with mentors for support and modeling of college-level performance expectations for the second half of the school year.
Outcome
Students connected with college student-mentors will benefit from a peer relationship built on the shared experiences of AP classes and college preparation.
Action Steps
Connect with school-based resources to find college student mentors (guidance counselors or current networks of college volunteers who return to the school during breaks).
Gather information on what each set of students should expect from one another, any information that may help make a match (e.g., shared studies, backgrounds, shared AP classes taken), and any incentives that can be gathered for the college student volunteers.
Connect college students with current AP students, prioritizing matches that include the most common experiences and backgrounds.
