Historically, we have provided 1:1 “Lunch buddy” college mentors to 2nd-grade students at Alder Elementary and supported Kindergarten classes. Alder Elementary School has a large population of students who face economic barriers in a diverse multilingual and multicultural area. The historic MAPS mentorship program was designed to strengthen Alder students’ awareness and understanding of what college is at an early age through one-on-one connections with PSU student mentors. This year, in light of the pandemic, we have modified the ways in which we are supporting this historic partnership with Alder; volunteers will instead focus on developing virtual programming related to introducing the idea of college / higher education to the youth of Greater Than’s programs.
