Helping navigate such an important time in one’s life is rewarding. It’s meaningful to share insights and guide mentees, remembering what it felt like at their stage.
Ben, my Writing Partner, helped me reflect on my life and express my ideas for college essays. His assistance was crucial in my next step after high school, leading to UC Davis with full scholarships.
Volunteering with Mission Graduates was so meaningful that I immediately signed up for the next opportunity. I loved reading and sharing with this group of bright, funny, inquisitive, charming and curious kids. They are our future and deserve as much community support as possible.
