FALLBROOK AAUW MENTORSHIP PROGRAM

The Fallbrook branch of AAUW has created a mentorship program for girls who are part of the  Advancement Via Individual Determination (AVID) program at Fallbrook High School and whose teachers have recommended them. To remain in good standing in the AVID program, they must maintain a high grade-point average, take high level academic courses, perform community service for a minimum of 50 hours per year, and commit to pursue admission to a four-year
university.

On top of all of that, these high performing students agree to participate in our mentorship program, where they are paired with an AAUW member who works with them from grade 10-12, providing guidance, support, and new opportunities. The program is a benefit for both the students and the mentors.

WHAT IS THE AAUW MENTORSHIP PROGRAM?

A coming together of professional women and college bound high school girls.

WHY MENTORSHIP? 

¨ To support college-bound students.

¨ To promote success in college and beyond.

¨ To provide exposure to role models.

WHAT ARE THE ACTIVITIES?

¨ Group: Experiences such as visits to cultural places or events.

¨ Individual: Activities that interest you and your mentee.

HOW MUCH TIME COMMITMENT DOES IT TAKE?

¨ Group activities range from 4-6 a year.  Some take a few hours, a few a full day.

¨ Individual activities are up to you and your mentee as to frequency and length.
