TN Promise Needs 2,000 Volunteer Mentors by this Friday, December 4, 2020

With just a few days remaining until the application deadline, tnAchieves still needs 2,000 volunteer mentors across the state. In Cumberland County, 13 mentors are needed by this Friday, December 4, 2020. Putnam County needs 44, Overton County needs 22, Fentress 14 and White 13. Van Buren also needs 4 mentors by this Friday. tnAchieves mentoring only requires a one hour per month commitment. In 2021, mentoring will take place entirely online with support from a virtual mentoring platform called tnAchieves CONNECT. While the time commitment is small, the impact is significant. In the coming year, the encouragement mentors offer students will prove more critical than ever before.
Potential mentors must be 21 years of age, are subject to a background check, and must complete a one-hour training session. tnAchieves will provide weekly updates and support throughout the mentoring process! You can learn more or become a mentor today by completing an application by December 4 at tnAchieves.org/mentors/apply! If you have questions about the tnAchieves mentoring program, please email or call Tyler Ford at tyler@tnAchieves.org or (309) 945-3446.
