The Format
[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Mentoring groups meet all together at scheduled times throughout the school year for a total of 20 weeks. Meetings last between 45-60 minutes. During these meetings, older grade-level mentors work through that day’s lesson with the younger grade-level mentees.
We work hand-in-hand with lead administrators, guidance counselors, and school appointed liaisons in advance to set the schedule days and meeting times for groups.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”12px”][vc_empty_space height=”25px”][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=”” row_type=”row” use_row_as_full_screen_section=”no” type=”full_width” angled_section=”no” text_align=”left” background_image_as_pattern=”without_pattern” css=”.vc_custom_1510270454863{padding-top: 50px !important;padding-bottom: 50px !important;}”][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][vc_column width=”2/3″][vc_column_text]
