ASPIRE staff and volunteers help students and their families by:

• Exploring available education and training options beyond high school
• Developing a post-high school plan with the student
• Assisting students with their essays and applications
• Keeping students on track to meet deadlines
• Giving advice about all postsecondary options
• Providing direction to scholarship and financial aid resources

MENTORS, If you are interested in becoming an ASPIRE mentor, please contact Patty.  ASPIRE is a mentoring program that matches trained and supportive adult volunteer mentors with high school students to develop a plan to help them meet their education goals beyond high school. 

Why become an ASPIRE mentor?

STUDENTS, There are two forms you must complete to be a part of the ASPIRE program:
The first is the permission form with a parent signature stating the students can meet with a mentor for guidance.
The second is our own "in house" form that gives us a better idea of what the student may be looking for.
