Become a Mentor

WTAD Foundation directs and encourages its mentors to work closely with the public school that is most convenient to their home or work. This community connection is vital to the relationships that will come into being. Mentors must agree to visit the school at least once a month for the entire school year, at the direction of the school's principal or vice principal. For the duration of the commitment, mentors must be role models in every way - how they live and speak and conduct themselves - and provide the mentees with a clear and undeniable inspiration and reason to succeed.

The school's principal or vice principal will identify the students that most need a mentor and will serve as the gatekeeper of the mentor-mentee relationship.

How we help
WTAD Foundation enables inner city at risk public school children to meet individuals who are willing to take the time and put forward the effort to inspire them to greatness through mentoring. Mentors are provided with the WTAD Mentoring system™ - enabling them to be part of the community solution that will encourage students to live and succeed in a life beyond the inner city. The children are given all the reasons and tools they will ever need to stay in school, avoid pregnancy, discover their biggest dreams, identify a career path, and graduate from high school.

It takes very little to make a very big difference in the life of an inner city public school student. Using the WTAD Mentoring System™ , our mentors provide the spark and inspiration that enables a student to see beyond the walls of the inner city to the world of opportunity that exists just beyond it.

By gently challenging students, inspiring them, and providing a showcase for them to display their individual talents, our system creates a mechanism that encourages and then reward these students for trying to succeed at something completely new.

This is a transformational moment for students and begins to truly change their lives forever.
