Mentors Wanted!

Mentors wanted! Come join the USMentors Program and change someone's life.
All it takes is 1 hour per week for a year, and volunteering looks great on
your resume. This is a great way to help out the Portland community; by
mentoring a student from King Middle School or Portland High School new
friendships can be formed.

You can get credits through the ARS399 internship class and/or get an
AmeriCorps Education Award.
For the ARS399 class you have to do 10-15 hours/week in a community service
placement. There will be a Wednesday seminar (4:10-6:40) 6 times per
semester, readings and discussion on work, workplace and community issues.
You will receive 3 credits per semester, may be repeated.

For the AmeriCorps Education Award, students need to be involved for 2
semesters (300 hours- about 10 hours a week) and you will receive $1175 for
tuition or student loan repayment.
