Seeking mentors to keep high school students on track

Puente is committed to supporting our local youth all the way through high school and college. Sometimes by the time anyone realizes a student is struggling, it’s too late. Puente seeks 12 mentors who can commit to spending time with a student one day each week, preferably on Wednesday. Mentors will help ensure their mentee is getting good grades, is on track for college and can even help with academic tutoring and help oversee the college application process. Help change a young person’s life!

For more information on this and ALL volunteer opportunities, call (650) 879-1691 ext 102, email Abby Mohaupt, or fill out a Volunteer Form by clicking here.
