Description: Many college-ready high school graduates nationwide do not enroll in college or fail to persist beyond their first or second year. The Alumni College Mentoring Program (ACMP) is designed to address this challenge by supporting students in their transition to and through college. This is an opportunity to make a meaningful impact while gaining valuable mentoring experience. As a mentor, you will share your college experience with incoming and continuing Frontier students and support their academic and personal success. The ACMP is currently offered at Metropolitan Community College (MCC) and the University of Missouri–Kansas City (UMKC). We are seeking caring, motivated, and dedicated Frontier alumni to serve as mentors for students enrolled at these institutions.
Mentors will support both first- and second-year students at MCC and UMKC. This role offers flexible scheduling while providing consistent support to assigned students (“college fellows”).
