Mentor
Why be a mentor? To create a deep and meaningful relationship with a highly motivated 11th Grade Scholar. To share your experiences and insights to help them succeed and to teach them real world skills such as interviewing and resume building.
“SEO holds their scholars to a high standard and ensures they are putting in the work to achieve success. I like working with a program that understands the importance of a strong academic foundation as well as the soft skills necessary to navigate one’s career.”
