Office of the Dean of Student Life Launches Brandeis Youth Mentoring Board

The Brandeis Youth Mentoring Board officially launched this fall as part of the Brandeis mentorship program that began in the fall of 2016. This youth board consists of students in fifth through eighth grades who, says Dean of Student Life Sharona Israeli-Roth, “want to support and make a difference in the mentorship program by actively helping to create mentoring activities and serving as leaders to the rest of our student-mentors.” This Brandeis Youth Mentoring Board will work to make the mentorship program meaningful for the entire student community. Students interested in participating on the youth board were asked to complete an application that included the questions “Why are you interested in joining?” “What do you hope to gain from your involvement?” and “What are some of your ideas for the mentoring program?”
 
“We were so impressed with the many students who applied to be part of the board,” adds Ms. Israeli-Roth. “Because of how many applications we received, we decided to select three representatives from each grade.”
