At Mighty Writers, a mentor works 1:1 with a student to support them in achieving their personal and academic goals. Writing is woven into our mentorships. Mentors help students improve their literacy skills, spark a love for writing in them, amplify their voices, and build self-confidence. With parental permission, the mentor may also introduce the mentee to new places and experiences, for example visiting a museum or meeting a professional from a career field the student is interested in exploring.
Mentor and mentee will be paired based on interests, hobbies, and preferences.
This pairing does ask for a 6 month commitment but can be extended. Weekly 1 hour meetings either via Zoom or in-person. Required, but not limited to have at least 4 hours per month. Will have to complete a short, monthly check-in to mark progress and for supports/needs for the pair.
