Training

Thank you for your willingness to serve as an ASPIRE mentor. Below are some helpful first steps as you begin your role as an ASPIRE mentor.

• Review the ASPIRE Mentor Responsibilities and Resource Guide note any questions you may have and review with your ASPIRE Site Coordinator

• Meet with your ASPIRE Site Coordinator (in person or virtually) to discuss your volunteer schedule, familiarize yourself with your ASPIRE Site, and learn about the resources available to support you as you mentor students. During this time, you will also:

  • • Review Safety and Confidentiality Policies

    • Discuss your responsibility as a Mandatory Reporter

• Watch ASPIRE’s Volunteering Basics Video

• Check out our YouTube Channel with great video resources on applying for financial aid, scholarships, Oregon Promise, and more.

• Join the Higher Education Coordinating Commission email lists. There are many to choose from. At a minimum, sign up for the OSAC and FAFSA/ORSAA newsletters to receive updates on ASPIRE, financial aid, Oregon Promise, scholarships, and more.
