'Project RIRAL's Transition to
College project is currently seeking volunteer
mentors and/or tutors to support our non-traditional
adult students in their endeavor to prepare
themselves for the rigors of college.
Our mission is dedicated to
improving the lives of our learners through a
sustained relationship of support, guidance, and
assistance as our students pursue their goals of
post-secondary education. Recently, one of our
graduates reminded us that without all the
additional support she has been receiving, it
would be very difficult for her to persist in
meeting her college goals.
Another student commented
on his TTC mentor by saying, 'My mentor became so
much more than I could have hoped. She is an ear
to vent, a knowledgeable person to ask questions,
and just the right person to receive advice and
suggestions. She is a teacher who gives me more
in a single email than I have learned in complete
semesters. Above all, she is that 'kick in the
pants' I need to go out and accomplish my goals, or
just simply complete assignments. My added bonus is
that my mentor never lacks the right compliment,
which builds my spirits and keeps me going.'
If you would like to
volunteer to become a mentor and/or tutor to one of
our TTC students, please contact: marie@transitiontocollege.org
or call 401 722-9800.
Volunteer mentors will be
required to attend orientation and training
workshops including an overview of the TTC Mentor
program, a description of Mentor eligibility and
time commitment, benefits and rewards of becoming a
mentor, and responsibilities of mentoring.
