2018/2019 MAPS (Mentor: Alder & Portland State) Mentor Application

Alder Elementary School has a large population of students who face economic barriers in a diverse multilingual and multicultural area. We hope to
strengthen these students’ aspirations for university achievement at an early age through our MAPS (Mentor: Alder & Portland State) mentoring
program and partnership with Together We Are Greater Than (formerly I Have a Dream Oregon). The MAPS program is hosted by the Student
Community Engagement Center. Transportation is provided by a generous sponsorship from Zipcar. Mentors will be trained during November 2018
and will be matched with their mentee for Winter/Spring 2019 terms.

Priority Deadline to apply for the MAPS program: Friday, November 2, 2018.

The information you provide in this application will be used to assure SCEC is pairing and recruiting the best mentors for our group mentoring
program. Please provide as much information as possible.

For more information or questions, please feel free to email, Alec Martinez at alec5@pdx.edu.
