So what has been happing at EDGE-ucation?!

We have been keeping busy meeting mentors and students! We are still in need of some more mentors!

Specifically recruiting, interviewing, and pairing mentors with high school students. So far we have paired half of our mentors with amazing students and we are in the process to start clearance (background check and TB tests – by law we need it since we’re speaking with minors). We are finishing pairing students and current mentors this week to get ready for our Launch event!

Our next step will be getting ready to rock this summer at our first EDGE-ucation Launch event, where mentors will meet their assigned students for the first time and get to mingle and make connections with other mentors, educators, as well as the EDGE-ucation Directors!

But there is still time, and you can still sign up to become an EDGE-ucation mentor for the summer! Remember that all we ask is to keep 3 hrs of face to face communication (that can be once a month or 3 times a month, depending on your schedule), and an additional 2 hrs of other communication (this includes email, phone, facebook, chat, etc, just keep tabs on your student and you can monitor their progress). You can meet with your student as well as other mentors and their student anywhere in the Bay Area and make an impact on a student’s life!
