What role do mentors play within the AVID framework?

Mentors within the AVID framework play a crucial role in guiding AVID students through their educational journey. They provide support, encouragement, and advice, helping students navigate the challenges of their academic paths. This mentorship fosters personal growth and academic achievement, as mentors are often more experienced individuals who can share insights into effective study habits, time management, and goal-setting strategies. They serve as role models who not only help students set and reach their objectives but also instill confidence and motivation, which are essential for success in both secondary and post-secondary education. Through this guidance, mentors help build the necessary skills and resilience that students need to thrive academically and personally.
