    Mentors:

    A unique aspect of this program is the opportunity to be paired with an adult mentor. You will be expected to engage in this partnership and allow your mentor to walk with you through this process. Mentors are volunteers who care about you can aid you in getting the most out of this program as possible. If for any reason this relationship is not a positive one we expect you to communicate this with Columbia Future Forge leadership so we can make adjustments.

    Please thoughtfully respond to the questions to help us get to know you and assess if this program is a good fit for you at this time.


    Columbia Future Forge Expectations:

    • I understand that entering this program requires a one year commitment.

    • I will attend each training session throughout the year and make it a priority.

    • I will check in with my mentor at least once a month and let program leadership know if there is a reason this relationship isn’t working.

    • I will engage in training sessions and strive to grow personally through them.

    • I am open to engaging a job with a local company and will do my best to engage in this opportunity with a professional attitude.
