MENTORING PROGRAM


A Notre Dame alum, Bryant Welters '10, has a need for mentors at his organization, The An-Bryce Foundation.  It is a private non-profit organization dedicated to serving youth and young adults from under-served communities through academic, artistic and environmental education. The foundation is starting a mentor program that is hoping to kick-off at the beginning of next year.


They are looking for young professionals in the DC area who would be excited and interested in becoming mentors for youth, meaning anybody who has a college degree would be a great candidate. (Note that this is different than the ND-WIN Mentoring Program, which matches seasoned professionals with recent graduates)


Please contact Bryant Welters or Elizabeth Shirley to participate in this great program!
