Become a CoA Puente Program Mentor!

Are you interested in becoming a Mentor in the College of Alameda Puente Program?

Every year, the CoA Puente Program recruits individuals to offer insight, provide guidance, and share their experiences in college and on their chosen career path to Puente students. Mentors also help students experience the professional world, and provide assistance developing professional networking skills. 

Mentors make a difference in our Puente students’ lives by:

• Developing a genuine encouraging relationship
• Sharing your academic and career experiences
• Providing encouragement and support to maintain an academic focus
• Validating Puente students’ strengths and potential as future professionals
• Sharing strategies to overcome obstacles
• Motivating Puente students to complete transfer goals
• Being an additional resource as needed

Apply to become a mentor today! All mentor contacts will be conducted remotely, via Zoom or by phone. We also invite you to learn more about the Puente Program here.
