The Mentorship Board oversees the performance and progress of all VSN Mentors in regards to resolving scheduling conflicts, mentor recruitment, mentee-mentor relations, manning onboarding training process, and ensuring the standards of mentorship by all members to establish equal opportunity for all high school mentees. The Mentorship Board also oversees the growth and enhancement of our mentorship programs, as we believe every individual mentor brings unique insight through their diverse range of experiences and backgrounds. Using this asset, the mentorship program constantly evaluates the feedback from high school mentees and undergraduate mentors to work on new educational projects and events that advance the free range of opportunity for students in the San Fernando Valley.
