WHAT WILL I DO AS
A MENTOR?

What will I do as a Mentor?
• Mentors will serve as resources, assisting students with academic and personal development, while offering support and motivation. In a sense, the mentor serves as a “fan” for his or her mentee, cheering that student on towards the goal of graduation from San Jac.
