10,000 Degrees (formerly Marin Education Fund) is looking for potential mentors who have the desire to assist high school students with the college and financial aid process.
Mentors will be partnered with the graduates of our 2011 Summer Institute, a program that assists first-generation high school juniors and seniors from low-income families by providing them with guidance and information regarding the college and financial aid application process. Mentors are critical in providing the necessary support and guidance to our students during their final years of high school.
10,000 Degrees invests in the personal and professional development of our mentors by providing on-going training and support throughout the year. Mentors and students meet at least once per month and work together for 1-2 years.

*Interest in working one-on-one with a high school student and engaging in a yearlong relationship during the student's junior or senior year in high school.
*Have a college degree (BA/S or advanced degree) or be working towards a degree.
*Embrace the mission, values and goals of 10,000 Degrees.
