Youth Mentoring News - Press Release

 

 

Youth Mentoring is a youth program offered by Rotary Club of Scottsdale. The program assists high school students prepare for a job, career, or education. The program is designed to help students who are planning to immediately enter the job market, enter a trade or vocational school, or enroll in a college or university after high school. 90% of graduating students do not have a mentor. Many students have never met a professional in their field of planned post high school training or education. Rotary has a wide variety of career choices represented in its membership. Upon being accepted into the program, Rotary will seek members or other professionals who wish to mentor the student and are willing spend one hour being interviewed by the student. The student will be invited to attend a Rotary meeting with their mentor. High school students wishing to apply for the program or to learn more about it are invited to email youthmentor@scottsdalerotary.org.
