At MINDDRIVE, there are no pre-requisites, specific skills, or prior training needed to be a great mentor for a young person. Our projects provide a unique opportunity to work alongside students to solve problems, demonstrate resolve, fail, and experience success. The most valuable behavior we can demonstrate for our students is how to cope with failure. How to pick up the pieces and keep going, take a different path or approach, and find the solution. Prospective mentors must submit an application and will be required to pass a background check. Once the application has been received, MINDDRIVE staff will follow up with the individual with background check & tour information.
