MENTOR SUMMITS INSPIRE, EMPOWER, AND MOTIVATE

GEAR UP 4 LA's peer mentoring program empowers students to build college-going aspirations and enrollment while sharing college access information with peers. During Peer Mentor Summits this fall, 9th- and 10th-grade students learned about the four systems of higher education, match and fit, and high school graduation requirements, and explored their own stories through team building and dialogue circles.
