TnAchieves Needs Mentors by October 21

Posted
TnAchieves, a privately-funded scholarship and mentoring program, needs more than 7,500 mentors by October 21, 2022 ensure every student in the TN Promise Class of 2023 has access to local mentor support. In 2023, tnAchieves returns to in-person, mandatory meetings to allow all volunteers a high-impact, structured environment in which they can establish a stronger connection with their students. 
 
“The entire tnAchieves team is eager to return to in-person mentor/student meetings,” said tnAchieves Senior Director of Mentors Tyler Ford. “After nearly three years of virtual or hybrid mentoring, we recognize that there is no replacement for gathering a group of students in-person to establish an initial connection.”
 
As Tennessee works to rebound from a nine-percentage point decline in college-going during the pandemic, this return to in-person meetings partnered with the support of volunteer mentors will make a true difference with students. 
 
By giving one hour per month, tnAchieves mentors provide critical support and encouragement for high school seniors in their community. All volunteers are provided with training as well as ongoing support from the tnAchieves team. Those interested in applying or learning more than visit https://tnAchieves.org/mentors.
 
TnAchieves seeks to provide every Tennessee student an opportunity to earn a post-secondary degree.
