Student Success Peer Mentor

Volunteers play a direct role in helping students ages 14-24 access opportunities that can change the trajectory of their education and future careers. By providing one-on-one guidance with scholarships, college applications, resumes, internships, and career planning, volunteers help students build confidence, develop practical skills, and overcome barriers that may otherwise prevent them from reaching their goals.
Volunteering with Triple V provides a meaningful opportunity to make a lasting impact on a student's life while developing mentorship, communication, coaching, and leadership skills. Every hour invested can help a student earn scholarship funding, gain admission to college, secure an internship, or obtain meaningful employment, creating ripple effects that extend far beyond a single mentoring session.
