Mentorships
Our Mentorship Program
Are you interested in becoming a college student, but you don't know where to start? Did you or your parents leave a Plain community? Or have you found your way to college or university and now you would like support and guidance? If you can answer "yes" to one or more of these questions, please apply to our free mentorship program.
Becoming a first-generation college student is challenging, especially without family support. We can pair you with a mentor who grew up Amish or Plain and has chosen to pursue higher education. They are available to offer guidance, encouragement, and support as you contemplate pursuing a college education, or after you are enrolled. We're here to help!
