Make a Difference for a Young Person

The HEROES mentoring program is led by the DU Volunteer Center at the Lettinga Campus with students from the Caledonia middle schools. 

• Student mentors help children develop their competence and character through an ongoing, structured relationship.
• You'll be a positive role model for your student, encouraging optimistic attitudes about school, positive self-esteem and improved relationships with adults and peers.. 
• Through the HEROES program, you'll also develop your own leadership, character and professional growth .  

Becoming a Mentor

• Stop into Student Life or download an application. Then, you'll undergo an interview, background check, and training session. 
• You must make a commitment to mentor for at least one academic year. 
• Plan to spend an hour a week with your assigned student.
• You'll also be invited to attend special mentoring events throughout the year.
