Looking to mentor a student in the community? Assets High School’s Mentorship Program extends learning beyond the curriculum. It enhances self-esteem through career related responsibility and provides access to community role models. The Mentorship Program matches students, based on their interests and personal qualifications, with various companies and organizations in the community. Students in grades 10 through 12 work for high school credit at their mentorship sites every Wednesday from September through April.
The program is similar to college internships, but for high school students. A prospective student will create a resume and cover letter and actually “interview” to get the job. We try to give students as much real world experience as possible. This is a non-paid position. Most of our students complete their required 5.5 hours per week on Wednesdays. However, the hours are flexible, based on your needs.
