BBBS of Cumberland & Salem Counties Brings Mentor2.0 Program to Cumberland’s TEC
Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland & Salem Counties (BBBS) recently partnered with Cumberland County Technical Education Center (CCTEC) to bring the Mentor2.0 program to the high school. This program matches high school juniors with a career professional or college education mentor to help them transition into college or other post-secondary opportunities such as the trades and military.
As part of the program, the mentor and mentee connect online once a week to work through the college success curriculum, a weekly online guide filled with activities and conversation topics. The mentor and mentee also meet in-person once a month during the school year to continue building that strong, personal relationship while working through the college application process with the support of the BBBS staff and curriculum.
