BIPOC Alumni-Student Mentoring Program
Program Details
The inaugural program participants will begin in the fall of 2024.
Mentor/mentee pairs will commit to meeting monthly (either in-person or on Zoom), facilitated by prompts and mentorship materials. Through this sustained engagement, mentors will establish individualized relationships with their mentees, and engage in activities such as observation, feedback, co-planning, and skill refinement.
The mentoring program is an opportunity for our BIPOC alumni, as well as ally alumni and all other alumni interested in facilitating an inclusive experience, to share opportunities with students while reducing barriers that prevent them from entering and remaining in the K-12 teacher and educator pipeline.
