Information session: Becoming an EBCF mentor

Have you ever thought of becoming a mentor to one of Oakland’s youth? Well, now is the time — you are needed!

President Napolitano has designated UCOP as a partner of Oakland Promise, an initiative to triple the number of Oakland youth that graduate from college within the next 10 years. The East Bay College Fund (EBCF), the lead agency in the Oakland Promise, is a community-based non-profit that provides mentorship, college scholarships, college access and persistence services to first generation college students from Oakland public schools.

This year, EBCF hopes to match 300 dedicated new mentors with four-year scholarship recipients. You could become one of them.

To learn what being a mentor means, come to this information session.

To RSVP or if you have any questions, please contact Jill Butler at jill.butler@ucop.edu or 510-987-0625.
