WOODBURY: TnAchieves is seeking 3,200 volunteer mentors to support the TN Promise Class of 2023. The deadline to apply to be a tnAchieves mentor is Oct. 21, 2022.
TnAchieves mentors help high school seniors become college ready and pursue their post-secondary goals. In 2023, tnAchieves is changing its mentor program to address enrollment challenges. Mentors will meet students in person and will have more time to connect with their group.
TnAchieves mentors commit to one hour per month to serve as a task manager, resource and support person for high school seniors. Mentors receive training and a handbook guide to the program.
