BLAST's Academic Mentoring Program is in great need of college students or recent graduates who are passionate about kids, especially those who are underserved and at-risk for not meeting their full potential.
Academic Mentors play a balanced role of a mentor and a tutor, meeting their "mentee" at their school or after school program to assist with academics, character development and goal setting/future thinking.
