KHEDF Mentorship Programs

1. What does mentorship mean to you?

Mentorship means the world to me as without it, I would not have pursued my dream of graduating college. I grew up as the daughter of immigrants and was set to be the first of my family to graduate from college. Because of this, most of my guidance through high school and college came from various mentors. Without them, I would not have experienced a community founded in support & higher education.

2. How did the mentorship experience impact you as a mentor and KHEDF alum?

As a KHEDF alumni, I was able to talk to my fellow scholars and understand that I was not alone through this new experience. Through the program I also grew my knowledge in many skills such as networking, communication, leadership, and active listening. As a mentor, I was able to share what I have learned through the KHEDF program and support others as I was supported. This has impacted me in my career because mentorship is a big part of my role as a high school teacher. I teach and support students everyday, and oftentimes just listening to them is guidance enough. My past mentees, Andrea & Alicia taught me that.

3. What would you tell scholars who are hesitant towards the mentorship experience?

Take the leap. Mentorship is a wonderful experience to go through because you are surrounded by a team of people (your mentor, KHEDF alumni, and KHEDF leaders like Meleny & Micaela) that help guide you through your own journey. They also teach you how to build your own community of support while hosting workshop events that align with skills and values one needs to succeed. With their mentorship and your acceptance, this opportunity is one of a lifetime.

Think of mentorship as your secret weapon on the journey through college life. It's like having a sidekick who's been there, done that, and is super ready to help you level up. Mentors are like personal guides – they share their smarts, tell epic stories, and help you figure out the path to success. They're not just about books; they're about cheering you on, pushing you to DREAM BIG, and showing you how to turn those dreams into degrees. Mentorship is your backstage pass to making the most out of your college adventure. Juntos let's team up with a mentor and transform your college journey into an epic adventure filled with endless possibilities!
