Alabama Possible Conducts Blueprints Mentor Training

Alabama Possible coordinators recently conducted training at Auburn University for Honors College students and faculty and University K-12 Outreach leadership in preparation for bringing the Blueprints College Access Initiative to east Alabama schools. The “train the trainer” session will now enable Auburn University to provide training to university students serving as volunteer mentors at Loachapoka, Opelika and Auburn high schools. The Blueprints program uses trained college mentors to provide 9th grade early awareness mentoring and 10-12th grade college coaching through the college and career readiness classes at our partner high schools. With guidance from their mentors, Blueprints high school students engage in college and career exploration, acquisition of academic and soft skills, and financial education activities to complete scholarship and financial aid applications
