About
Since 2011, the Project MALES Student Mentoring Program has focused on relationship-building among male undergraduate mentors and male high school students in Central Texas school districts. This model is a research-informed initiative that highlights mentoring as a way to leverage social capital among males of color at various points in the educational pipeline to ultimately build a stronger college-going culture among this group of students.

These mentoring sessions will take place anywhere from 30-60minutes with the support of other mentors, graduate coordinators, and a guided curriculum. We have opportunities for up to 60 mentors.
