Why mentor?
The Memphis Grizzlies Scholars Program source mentors with a passion for youth development—especially those with backgrounds, goals, and experiences similar to the students in the program. Over the course of an academic year, mentors meet monthly, in-person, and engage in weekly phone check-ins with their mentee. Through these interactions, students build a trusting, ongoing relationship with an adult mentor, which has repeatedly been shown to be a contributing factor to success within educational institutions.
