2009 - 2010 Tiered Community Mentoring Kick-off Program
Tiered Community Mentoring Program
The Tiered Community Mentoring Program provides
students at the high school, undergraduate, and law school levels
access to legal professionals to provide them with an understanding
of the legal profession and an awareness of the career
opportunities available to them. The program is based in Boston in
an effort to reach urban high school students, with a focus on
building a diverse mentoring network.
The program is in its second year and the overall goal is to
provide information, guidance and real life experiences to all of
the participants so that they can make informed decisions regarding
their future and career.
- Exposing high school students to information about
college;
- Providing pre-law undergraduate students with information about
the law school admission process and the importance of taking
challenging classes;
- Providing law students with an inside view of the practice of
law with their attorney mentors.
The program matches 10 mentoring groups, each comprised of
a high school student, a undergraduate student, a law student, and
an attorney. A program launch event takes place once all of the
participants have been vetted through an application process and
program guidelines are clearly defined for all participants.
