PEEP Career Mentoring Program

High school students with career or entrepreneurial goals in mind will be paired with mentors already successful in those fields. Mentors will serve as career advisors for 6 to 12 months, passing on valuable skills and insight. Mentors will provide individualized attention and share first-hand knowledge as it relates to their business and/or skill set. Entrepreneurs and skilled professionals serving as mentors will demonstrate how they achieved success in their respective fields and encourage mentees to do the same.

The benefits of mentoring go both ways. Often adult mentors report that their mentoring experiences have improved their lives in tangible ways. Not only do they feel better about themselves for playing a positive role in a young person’s life, but they also find that mentoring teaches them more about themselves.

Many mentors reported that mentoring a young person increased their sense of responsibility and accomplishment. In fact, in a national survey of adults who mentored young people, 83 percent indicated that they learned or gained something personally from their mentoring experience. They reported feeling that they had become a better person, developed more patience, developed new friendships, felt more effective and acquired new skills. Also, mentoring provides networking opportunities and gives you and your company the opportunity to give back.
