The Rotsky Foundation for Mentors

Description

The Rotsky Foundation partners 8th grade students (proteges) with local professionals (mentors) that work in a field of interest to the student. The mentor/protege team is asked to meet at least once a month along with a minimum of two phone conversations per month. Mentors stress the importance of a high school education and encourage proteges to set a goal of "expecting" to attend college. The protege's incentive for completing the program is scholarship money towards college. The Rotsky Foundation's ultimate dream is for our proteges to attend college, graduate, then come back to the foundation to be mentors.
