Re: Doing FIRST in College

There are lots of choices in college. The good new is that you can try different things and continue or change depending on how it goes.

2102 loves our college mentors. Both those from the community and returning team members. They and valuable and welcome on whatever schedule and commitment fits. We just reinforce that they are mentors now (not super members) so there role is support.

One thing to think about is how "teaching" new skills and knowledge can help reinforce and integrate new learning. So mentoring can help college students lock in and advance THEIR learning. It also gives you quick feedback on what, in your first career, were good decisions, and what, might have modified knowing what you recently learned.
