Mentor a One Family Scholar

Mentors and scholars often develop a relationship that provides mutual support and sustenance that goes way beyond scholarship.  Mentors meet regularly with Scholars, helping them to fine-tune academic plans and their career goals, using their life's experience to provide counsel and advice.  The single most important qualification to be a successful mentor is the willingness and enthusiasm to give of your time and talent in order to help another woman achieve what you already have: economic and personal stability in their lives.

For more information on mentoring a One Family Scholar, please contact Valerie Paric at 617-423-0504 x203 or vparic@onefamilyinc.org.
