In addition to a year of expertise, guidance, and wisdom from their Mentors, our Mentees have monthly opportunities to participate in:
- College Portfolio Workshops ~ Mentees are offered program-specific workshops based on their academic, career/entrepreneur, and military service interests. These workshops are designed to assist our Mentees effectively transition from school to "the real world."
- Life After High School Talks w/ Featured Guest Speakers ~ Mentees & Mentors are invited to "mix & mingle" in whole-group settings, participate in interactive discussions, meet our guest speakers, and win "Best in Participation" prizes for demonstrating their active listening, effective writing, and presentation skills. This is a great place to build your network! "What you know + Who you know"
- M&M Fundays ~ MP2019 has partnered with the El Paso Chihuahuas, El Paso ProMusica, Top Golf, and more... Mentees & Mentors get together and have fun! Senior year, graduation, and what comes next are both exciting and a little scary.
