Parsons has openings for students who would like to mentor New York City youth in the Parsons Scholars Program. Almost 60 students in 10th – 12th grade study at Parsons each Saturday morning to prepare portfolios and attend college access workshops and events through our pre-college scholarship program.

Mentors work with cohorts of 12 – 15 youth and their faculty coordinator on a weekly basis both in the pre-college classroom and planning and organizing events. This is a paid position through Federal Work Study awards and both undergraduate and graduate students are encouraged to attend an information session on Friday evening to find out how to make a difference in the lives of our pre-college youth.
