NASHVILLE TENN. (WTVF) — November 15th, 2024 is the deadline for recruitment and tnAchieves needs 1,800 volunteer mentors to help with student demand.
There are over 60,000 seniors who will be applying for the TN Promise Scholarship. tnAchieves are adjusting how mentoring will look in 2025 than to previous years.
The benefits of the change will allow mentors to spend more time creating a connection with their students. Also, mentors will have two or three students in their
group.
“The November 15 registration deadline is fast approaching and the need for volunteer mentors remains significant,” said tnAchieves Vice President of External Partnerships Tyler Ford. “Meeting mentor demand ensures that every student who wants a mentor has access to a local support system. Each year we see that when the community offers encouragement and support for students, the path to post-secondary is within reach. Students thrive when their community invests in their success! Mentorship really does matter!”
