Hi, all! I’m excited to share that I was recently featured on WKYC Channel 3!
I am part of the College Now mentorship program, and was interviewed along with my mentee, Aspen Wood.
Our interview with WKYC Channel 3
The College Now: Greater Cleveland program provides resources for Say Yes Cleveland scholarship recipients. I was lucky to be paired with Aspen Wood, a freshman at the Cleveland Institute of Art. They are an inspiring and dedicated Animation major, already well on their way to success in college and beyond. You can view their work here :)
You can see our heartwarming feature here!
College Now is in need of mentors - especially people who majored in the arts! I know so many people in my community went to school for art and would be amazing mentors.
Being a mentor has big rewards with a low time commitment. I email Aspen twice a month to check in with them and answer any questions about their time in college. I also commit to meeting with my mentee three times a year. Aspen and I meet more often than this because we both live in the same city and we get along well. Some mentor/mentee pairs meet solely via phone and zoom!
You can learn more on the College Now: Greater Cleveland website.
I highly recommend signing up to be a mentor - it’s been a very rewarding experience for me. Let me know if you have any questions!
Thanks for reading!
