Lead Mentor

ImproveYourTomorrow

Job description

I am a mentor for young people of color, helping them graduate college and realize their goals.

Why did you choose this program?

I went to Humboldt State because I wanted to experience a different environment than the one I was accustomed to and because college offered me the ability to grow as an individual.

How did this program prepare you for your job?

During my time in Humboldt, I encountered a program associated with Americorps, joined that program, and engaged, for the first time, with nonprofit work. After I finished with that program, I then joined Improve Your Tomorrow. Had I not learned about nonprofits at Humboldt State, I may never have done work for a nonprofit or joined IYT.

What did you enjoy most about the program?

I liked Humboldt's close proximity to nature and its focus on environmentalism and social justice.

What would you say to prospective students who are thinking about applying to this program?

If you are interested in environmental studies, social justice, or science, Humboldt State is a good college to attend.
