[Fabs] Mentoring Project

Wed Sep 5 05:03:45 UTC 2012

Hi, 
The mentoring project is an opportunity for high schoolers or upcoming college students to be teamed with an individual that can assist & give some guidance on college selection, scholarships, self advocacy, & everyday topics that will be of benefit to the student & her or his future. This program is also an opportunity for the members of FABS to help others as we were enlightened by those that came before us.
For more details about the program or how to sign up, e-mail ms Scerenscko at bfs1206 at gmail.com.
