> Be a Mentor

Do you want to give back to your community but have very little time to do so? For just five hours each month, mentoring is an incredible way to support local high school students in your community. Our mentor program pairs a student with an adult professional who can offer support, advice, and guidance during a student's final years of high school and the critical post-secondary planning process.

Mentoring can improve a student's attitude towards school, enhance his/her confidence, and afford the invaluable opportunity to interact with a positive role model.

One Saturday morning a month, Thurgood Marshall Academy mentors and students gather to participate in a variety of fun and enriching activities. Past Mentor Day events have included:

  • Georgetown basketball games
  • Museum scavenger hunts
  • IMAX movies
  • Bowling
  • College campus visits
  • Group community service projects

Mentor one child, change two lives.
