WHS College & Career Mentor Program

WHS College & Career Mentor Program Wenatchee High School's College Mentor Program (CMP) began in 2003. Susan Ballinger saw a need and recruited her friends to help fill it.

Wenatchee High School College & Career Mentor Program for seniors (& their parents & volunteer mentors) committed to getting to and through college successfully. What started as a small group of local volunteers (including French teacher, Jon Magnus, who came on board in 2005 to help coordinate the internal mechanisms required to support senior students) has blossomed into an effort supported with

district dollars. Along the way, the program has been supported by grant dollars from College Spark and The Fordham Street Foundation. The fact that this program is now fully (though minimally) supported by the Wenatchee School District speaks to its success. 2015 College Mentor Program participants were successfully accepted by 251 colleges and were awarded almost $250,000 in financial aid, NOT including College Bound Scholarship funds. We are always looking for community volunteers to fill the ranks of mentors and welcome your inquiry or interest.

Our annual Ice Cream Social was held last night. Mentors and mentees had an opportunity to meet one another and enjoy Ice cream.

As the coordinator that oversees this program, it is a true honor to watch and be apart of the relationships made throughout each school year between mentors and mentees.

We are stoked to start another year, and get first generation college students off to post secondary education!
