Mentoring 

STUDENT EDUCATION ASSOCIATION

We pair up a student who is pursing a career in education with a retired teacher. The teacher will be that student’s mentor based on their interests and can communicate with them how ever and as often as they want. We encourage students to join the program that are interested in getting information for the future, today.
