Community Impact Lead II

Did you know that nationally, over half of all students who begin at a community college, do not complete? The Mentoring Project provides support to low-income college students to stay enrolled and finish their degree. This is done by providing 1:1 community volunteer mentors. The Mentor provides guidance to the student in overcoming obstacles to graduation and/or career advising. In addition, TMP provides virtual career panels that are available free to Washington students. Student served by The Mentoring Project are enrolled on various Washington campuses and all meetings with mentors occur virtually, not at the campus or any other physical site. We rely on our community college partner institutions to refer students. However, more tactical outreach is now required, such as a peer-recruit/referral network. Although most of our outreach is conducted electronically, we will visit some campuses to post flyers and table at events to inform students about mentorship opportunities. The community colleges are the postsecondary sector with the least resources, the largest population of low-income students and students of color, and the highest level of attrition. This project addresses the fact that only slightly more than half of students who begin a degree at one of the community or technical colleges in Washington state will graduate (53% in 2019; 54% in 2020; 57% in 2021). [Source: Washington State Board for Community and Technical Colleges]. The attrition rate is higher for historically underserved students of color who may have difficulty connecting to services and building or finding caring relationships on campus. According to the National Student Clearinghouse Resource Center (CTEE Report, Fall 2021), marginalized student populations enrolled at community colleges have been disproportionally impacted during the decade long decline in higher education enrollments.Further help on this page can be found by clicking here .Member Duties : Join a small team as a key contributor to: Recruit students by working with campus and community partners and programs.
