Academic Success Today seeks to foster strong interpersonal relationships between Princeton students and their mentees, through tutoring, relationship-building, and academic guidance. Academic Success Today is built on 1-on-1 mentoring relationships between Princeton students and John Witherspoon Middle School students. Princeton students enter a mentor-mentee relationship for the school year, though they are encouraged to continue with their mentee throughout their undergraduate career. Princeton community participants may inquire about this program at the middle school.

Time Commitment Overview:

• Volunteers meet 2-3 times a semester for trainings, reflections, and community building.
• Volunteers work with mentees weekly through direct service.

Required Trainings:

• General Volunteers

This project is open to all Princeton University students interested in supporting the project's mission, regardless of identity, such as race, sex, ethnicity, national origin, or other protected characteristics.
