PFLASA Application Mentoring Needs Your Help

by Newsletter Comment Closed

The PFLASA Application Mentoring program is gearing up for the upcoming application window and we need many volunteers. Please consider joining our team.

We provide students with access to adults who have the understanding of the application process and can help edit essay questions and discuss the COGAT. We go to various middle schools around Austin at various weekly times. Your commitment would be weekly from late-Nov until early Feb when applications are turned in. We will also need mentors for two Saturday Zoom sessions in January that are open to students city-wide.
The reaction to this program from both mentors and students has always been positive.

Mandatory training sessions will be as follows. (You only need to attend one.)

  • Monday, Oct 26 at 8:30am
  • Friday, Oct 30 at 12:00pm
  • Wednesday, Nov 4 at 6:00pm (zoom)

If you are interested please fill out this form.

Any questions, contact Emily Robson at mentoring@pflasa.org.
