 GRAWA Diversity Committee Meeting

 Summary - August 2008

 

 GRAWA Diversity Committee STILL  

 Seeking  Mentors

 The GRAWA Diversity Committee and the 

 Rochester City School District's Law

 Academy have partnered with Big Brothers

 Big Sisters of Greater Rochester in a

 Mentoring Partnership which matches high

 school students who hope to become

 lawyers with GRAWA mentors who act as

 positive role models and provide experiences

 to enable the students to achieve their

 academic and career goals.

 We are seeking ten new or repeating  

 mentors to begin the 2008/2009 school

 year.  We hope to complete training and

 background checks this Summer, so Mentors

 and Mentees can get started early in the

 Fall.  This is a wonderfully successful

 program that adds much to the lives of both

 the students and their mentors.  For more

 information, or to complete a Mentor

 Application, please contact:  Andrea Brown

 at (585) 442-2332, ext. 108,

 abrown@bbbsr.org or Jacia T. Smith at (585)

 419-8779, jsmith@harrisbeach.com.
