Calling All Doorways Mentors...

Over the next few weeks, Doorways Mentors can expect a phone call from Pinellas Education Foundation staff member Tammie Roberson Kendricks who is reaching out to all mentors in an effort to assess how the experience has been working.
"Our goal is to hear directly from our mentors about what works, what can be improved and any feedback or suggestions they'd like to share regarding the Doorways mentorship program," says Kendricks.
Mentors are a critical factor in the success of Doorways Scholars. If you are interested in becoming a Doorways mentor to a middle or high school student, click here.
