The School Access Coach Initiative program is designed to pair awesome RISE students with safe, reliable, and motivating mentors!
Given that many RISE students are not provided the gift of being able to focus on being “just students”, many must work, juggle competing priorities, navigate complex social systems (foster care, juvenile justice), care for their own children etc. It’s important that they have consistent and healthy youth-adult partnerships to assist them in successfully navigating their high school experience. School Access Coaches will be devoted to motivating, checking-in on and showing-up for their RISE mentee to add to their support team. RISE Leadership will review and engage selected applicants in a live scan, background check and onboarding process in August. The time commitment will be roughly 1-2 hours a week (check-in calls/texts, visits, school events – Exhibition, POL’s, SLC’ etc.). Click the following links for additional information:
