The Alhambra High School Mentorship Program was recently organized by CMSA and APAMSA. First-year and second-year medical students were matched with MESA high school students. A dinner was held at Alhambra High School for mentors, mentees, and their parents for everyone to meet. Since then, the mentors have been meeting individually or with their respective groups to do a great variety of activities.
The goal of the program is for the mentor and the mentee to build a trusting relationship, through which, the high school students can build his/her self-esteem. The role of the mentor is to help the mentee explore his/her own academic interests. MESA students are highly motivated and will benefit from the medical student's experiences and guidance. The Alhambra High School staff is delighted with the program.
If you would like to get involved with this program or if you want to establish a partnership please call the Office of Minority Affairs at:
