Requirements
To participate in Project MASCOT, students must have at least a 2.0 GPA, be a full-time student, and have a good academic and disciplinary standing. You are expected to spend at least 30 minutes (during their lunch hour) a week mentoring at your child’s school. You must also attend at least one orientation meeting. All mentors will be highly recommended to attend the mentor training sessions and mentor/mentee socials that will be offered throughout the year. There are annual dues required to help cover a portion of the expenses of the trip. The CLS Resource Development team will raise the remainder of the costs. Lastly, you MUST be able to commit an entire day in the Spring semester to attend the trip to a Florida theme park with your mentee.
Project MASCOT volunteers are required to attend an orientation session where you will sign up to be matched with a child and given the guidelines of the program. You are recommended to attend Mentor Training sessions to educate yourself not only on the benefits of mentoring, but also to teach you about the lives of these children. From there, you will begin volunteering with your mentee.
