mentoring our students

Our team is 100% student-led with adult mentors who provide advice, guidance, and training to ensure that students are safe. Our mentors donate their time and experience to help members develop skills that they will use throughout the rest of their lives. In order to protect our students, each mentor must obtain a Youth Protection certification through FIRST, complete a background check by Geneva High School, and obtain approval from the Lead Mentor in order to mentor our team.

As our team grows we are always looking for new mentors to ensure the program continues. If you are interest in mentoring our team, please email us at: genevarobovikes3067@gmail.com.
