With the December 4, 2020 deadline less than two months away, tnAchieves needs an additional 3,600 volunteer mentors across the state to support TN Promise applicants from the Class of 2021. Locally, Cumberland County needs 13 mentors to meet student demand. Mentors spend one hour a month assisting students as they transition from high school to college. In 2021, mentors will serve students virtually with the support of an online mentoring platform, tnAchieves CONNECT.
Mentors will be provided with training, a handbook and will receive weekly updates from tnAchieves.
Potential mentors must be 21 years of age and are subject to a background check. For more information or to apply, you can visit www.tnachieves.org or contact tnAchieves Director of Mentors Tyler Ford at (309) 945-3446 or tyler@tnAchieves.org.
