MENTORS NEEDED!

tnAchieves serves as the partnering organization to Governor Haslam's TN Promise Scholarship that allows any student in Tennessee the opportunity to earn an associate's degree or technical certificate free of tuition. The Class of 2018 will be the fourth class of seniors to take advantage of the Tennessee Promise Scholarship and the tenth class of students in the tnAchieves program, which originated in Knox County. Tennessee has seen several early successes with the Tennessee Promise. In its first year, our state saw a 4. 6% increase in the number of students going to college directly after high school, which is a larger increase than the previous seven years combined!
 
Along with funding, tnAchieves pairs every student with a volunteer mentor who serves as a resource and encourager. Volunteer mentors are paired with 5-10 students from the high school of their choice and they work with students through the last semester of their senior year and the first semester of college.  Mentors tell us that volunteering with tnAchieves is a 10 hour annual commitment. tnAchieves is looking for over 9,000 mentors throughout the state to help the class of 2018. In Robertson County alone, tnAchieves needs 114 mentors! The deadline to apply is December 1, 2017 and you can go to www.tnachieves.org  to find out more information and complete an application!
