Mentorship & Community Activism

Become a mentor or partner with us on initiatives designed to support students in education.

As part of supporting the goals of The Gad Dela Lawoey Foundation, we provide mentorship and host an annual back-to-school drive to help children, their parents, and organizations that support these groups to get ready for the new school year.

We welcome all support, whether in cash or time, to support these initiatives. By getting involved, you will make a meaningful contribution to the lives of our future generations.

Become a Mentor

Mentors offer support and guidance to students – children and young adults – along their educational journey. These are done as remote and in-person meetings, phone calls, messages, etc.

We also provide peer-to-peer mentoring where scholarship recipients and other volunteers are paired with students.

Our mentors are passionate about educational development for lifting families out of poverty. If you’re interested in becoming a mentor, please be prepared to spend a minimum of 60-minutes per week with students(s) in support of their educational goals.

To become a mentor, you must meet the following requirements:

  • Be an adult who has graduated from or is enrolled in an accredited university or college

  • Have 1-3 hours availability each week to dedicate to the student(s) assigned to you

  • Completion of a mentorship application and verification for suitability

  • Agree to complete a mentorship training session
