Wake Forest Class of 2016

During this time all faculty/staff and students are encouraged to donate gently use, ideally new items for children of all ages and sizes.

These items will them be donated to Children whose parents have experienced incarceration: those who are in prison, newly released prisoners, and those in rehabilitation.

Check out this exciting new mentoring program, just for you. Mortar Board, the national honor society, recognizes top college seniors for excellence in the areas of scholarship, leadership and service. Current Mortar Board members are piloting a peer mentoring program for interested sophomores, starting in October. Mentor pairs will meet twice a month in the fall and spring semesters to discuss interests, goals, and academic and career direction. Sophomores will benefit from the wisdom and guidance of one who “has been there,” and will have the opportunity to build a network with interested and like-minded individuals.

Space is limited to 20 participants so sign up soon! Applications are due by Friday, October 11, 2013. Sign up with your interest here.
