Mentoring Interest for SLE Consulting
Thank you for your interest in the Soy La Esperanza Mentoring volunteer program. We know from research that representation in schools matter. Unfortunately, Latino students in PGCPS are not well-represented in teaching or leadership roles and they are in dire need of role models. While 100% of Latino students in PGCPS attend schools with teachers of color, only 36% of all PGCPS Latino students attend a school where at least 5% of their teachers identify as latino. 21.8% of all Latino students attend a school where there is no Latino teacher at all. When looking at achievement data for Latino male multilingual learners in PGCPS, there is a downward trend in graduation data and a clear difference between the overall graduation data of African American students. There is no doubt that this has been exacerbated by the pandemic and now is the perfect opportunity to close that gap. This begs the call for more in-depth mentoring programs targeted at this vulnerable population. The research is clear, collaborative mentoring relationships are an effective way to support students in pursuit of their goals.

The way that I have designed the program would mean some minimal contact with students on a weekly basis (this can be virtual, hybrid, or in-person).

  • Work with one - four students 30 minutes per week (a total of 30 mins. to two hours per week depending on how many students you can work with)
  • Using the assigned weekly lessons that would already be prepared for you
  • Making yourself available to students via your preferred mode of contact
