Mentoring Program
Ƶ has launched a new mentorship initiative that pairs Ƶ Ambassadors with Ƶ Collegiate Council members for personalized guidance on college readiness. Through one-on-one mentorship, Ambassadors gain firsthand insight into the college experience, academic preparation, leadership development, and navigating the transition from high school to higher education. Mentorship is a powerful tool for both personal and professional growth, and this program offers a meaningful opportunity for students who have demonstrated exceptional dedication to their academics and involvement with Ƶ. We are excited to support Ambassadors as they prepare for the next chapter of their academic journey. For more information, please contactcollegiatecouncil@nshss.org.
