    October 09, 2017
    Currently, Warren County has 28 of the 74 mentors needed to meet student demand for the Class of 2018.
     
    TnAvieves is also introducing our #FindAFriend campaign.  When you find someone new to become a mentor make sure they list you in the “How did you hear about tnAchieves?” field of the application.  You will then be entered into a drawing to receive gift cards to area restaurants and attractions, tickets to sporting events, gift baskets from chambers of commerce and several other prizes.  Interested participants can register to become a mentor at
    www.tnachieves.org/mentors/apply
     
    More students in Tennessee are going to college than ever before and it is because you are volunteering your time to ensure they are successful!  The TnAchieves staff cannot do this work without you and our students need your support as they transition from high school to college.  Thank you for being advocates for higher education and making a difference in your community.
