S2C Mentor - Volunteer

The Stevenson Foundation is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to investing in student success and connecting with our community. In addition to engaging graduates through our Alumni Association and hosting a wide range of events, the Foundation provides students with assistance and opportunities to empower them to reach their brightest futures. One of the programs of the Stevenson Foundation is Stevenson to College (S2C). For more information about the Stevenson Foundation, please visit the website: https://www.stevensonfoundation.org/.

The core component of the Stevenson to College (S2C) program is mentoring. Mentoring provides a caring, trusted adult to a youth who needs guidance and support. Due to the nature, significance and impact of the mentoring relationship, it is vital that S2C recruit, screen and match mentors with reasonable care and due diligence. All potential mentors will be screened through the same process and must meet the defined eligibility criteria to become an S2C mentor.
