Orientation and Training

Before you begin your mentor experience, Shepherds requires all prospective mentors to participate in an intensive half day of orientation and training where we'll cover four important topics:

  • Shepherds' mission, goals and culture
  • Profile of Shepherds Students, their families and our partner schools
  • The role and expectations of being a Shepherds Mentor
  • Safe Environment Policies and Best Practices

In the second part of the day, mentors meet their assigned student and families and get to know them in a social setting.

Mentor/Student Coaches extraordinaire!
Shepherds employs experienced academic professionals who act as liaisons between the Shepherds program, the students, their mentors and their respective partner schools.

Partner School Liaisons

For mentors, they are the first line of inquiry on student academic and social issues. For Shepherds Students, they provide oversight of student grades, discipline and compliance with Shepherds standards.
