The training will start at 9:30 a.m. and end at 2:00 p.m. Training materials will be provided for free as well as a catered breakfast and lunch. Volunteers will learn how important, as a mentor, it will be to share his/her experience, wisdom, and professional expertise when paired with a mentee. The goal is to help foster care alumni(mentees) attending Michigan State University gain a sense of confidence in their chosen career path, employment pursuits, and graduate. Mentor and mentee training will be based on shared interests. The majority of the mentees are minorities.
