Join CLP for a life-changing experience!
The Chesapeake Language Project Mentorship program aims to facilitate immigrant students’ access to higher education and postsecondary opportunities. The Mentorship Program pairs adult volunteers to provide one-to-one mentoring for current or former English learner high school students by offering support with academic decisions during high school and beyond. By becoming an integral partner in the student’s academic journey, the Mentor will contribute to the academic and professional outcomes of the student.
