BECOME A MENTOR

Our program uses a high-touch, intergenerational Mentor Program model that connects Stockton Scholars who are seeking a post-secondary education with local professionals from the Central Valley and State of California. Our current Mentors include professionals from various fields like education, business, STEM, government and non-profit sectors. Mentors assist our students with things like academic & major support, professional development, life skills and self-care, as well as career planning & advice.
