Academic Mentors at SquashBusters Providence will collaborate with our academic managers to build nurturing and trusting relationships with our 6th-12th grade students in order to provide them with high-level academic support. In addition to supporting our students academically, we invite academic volunteers to show off any passion projects or interests they have that can align with our programming recipe which includes College Visits/Informational Sessions, Career Pathway Exploration, and Community Service. Academic Mentors from the Brown community will benefit from the short commute to our facility (a 5-10 minute walk depending where you live on campus), flexible volunteer days, and the opportunity to be a positive role model for our students.
