Mentoring Tomorrow's Leaders

Sponsor: Birce Ozturan

Mentoring Tomorrow’s Leaders (MTL) is a peer-to-peer mentoring and student leadership program that serves students in grades 6th – 12th. MTL promotes academic advancement, pupil progression, student engagement and successful school completion utilizing the MTL Five Pillars.

FIVE PILLARS

1. Academic Achievement – Students who are not making academic gains are paired with a student mentor. Ongoing support includes a mentor-mentee hour, under the supervision of a site coordinator, to foster academic progress, and social emotional learning skills at school at least twice a week.

2. Peer Mentoring – High-achieving upper class students with demonstrated leadership skills participate in a two-year mentor relationship with students who have not experienced academic gains. This is a structured relationship that is facilitated by the MTL site coordinator. In addition, all MTL students are exposed to adult mentors from the community during planned workshops with guest speakers.

3. Family Involvement – MTL provides parents and guardians with quarterly parent-education workshops to include college readiness, graduation requirements, pupil progression plan, and navigating through the educational systems. Additionally, MTL equips parents with the necessary tools to engage and communicate effectively with their children.

4. Community Support – Mentors/Mentees initiate and participate in various Community Civic Engagement initiatives. MTL provides all members with the necessary tools to network effectively, including access to insightful guest speakers at parent and student workshops. In addition, donors, sponsors and representatives from colleges and universities interact with MTL students to present pathways for post-secondary education.

5. Student Enrichment and Incentives – Program participants earn several incentives as they work to improve their grades and meet high school graduation requirements. Student mentors also earn incentives as they inspire their peers to achieve academic excellence. These incentives include visits to local colleges and extended college tours, educational field trips and recognition within the school and community.
