Every Student Fellow is assigned a Mentor for the first year of the program.
Mentors are community leaders who act as role models, advisers, and teachers.
Students and Mentors are encouraged to have fun together while learning from each other. Some of the activities that Mentors and Student Fellows have participated in include community meetings and activities, conferences, workshops, and just going out to lunch. Over 330 members of the community have served as Mentors, many more than once.
