About the STEM Achievers Mentoring Program
The STEM Achievers Mentoring Program supports mentees as they are challenged to build skills and pursue goals related to career, academic, personal, social, and cultural development. Mentors provide experiences and activities that encourage the psycho-social, emotional, and cognitive development of mentees.
The mentor and mentee connection unfolds in five phases:
- Who am I?
- Where do I belong?
- Where am I going?
- What does it take to get there?
- Where do I go from here?
Each phase focuses on an area of development and requires mentees to learn certain skills and knowledge.
