Thank you for your interest in becoming a mentor for the Irvine Valley College Puente Program!
Puente is unique among college transfer programs by offering personal one-on-one mentoring by local professionals who graciously volunteer 15-18 hours during the academic year.
Our Puente Mentors support the Puente Program by motivating Puente students to build the social and cultural capital they will need for their future success as college students and career professionals. All Puente Mentors are trained to follow mentoring guidelines and serve as successful career role models to their student mentees. Our experience shows that mentoring is inspiring to BOTH mentors and their Puente student mentee.
