College Positive Mentoring Toolkit
developed the College Positive Mentoring Toolkit, designed to provide mentors with information, conversation starters, match activity ideas, and ready-to-use activities, to help their mentees take important steps toward higher education. Feel free to explore, print, and share these resources with your program staff and mentors to empower the young people in your program to consider education beyond high school as a realistic option, as well as to equip them with the tools to plan for and attend post-secondary education. Michigan Campus Compact and Mentor Michigan
College positive mentoring encourages and creates a pathway for K-12 youth to consider, plan for, and attend post-secondary institutions. Carefully structured and supported mentoring provides young people with the development resources needed for success. Combined with age appropriate, appealing college access activities and consistent encouragement, mentoring relationships help youth succeed both personally and academically, and set them on the pathway for higher education!
Help them get there!
