Students who participated in the class Service-Learning Project acted as public speaking mentors! Public speaking mentors volunteer their time by helping their peers (in any course) with the performance aspect of a presentation. Additionally, mentors schedule Zoom rehearsals with a peer then evaluate the presentation, providing helpful and encouraging feedback. Finally, mentors then write a reflection paper on each service they have completed and provide important data and personal experience to be used to make future Service-Learning mentoring more sustainable and inclusive.
