Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee (BBBSMT) is proud to announce the launch of the College Advancement Program (CAP), a first-of-its-kind program for Middle Tennessee that provides college students with personalized, one-on-one support and small group mentoring.
“At Big Brothers Big Sisters, our mission is to equip and empower, which is the foundation of the College Advancement Program,” said Melissa Hudson-Gant, CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Middle Tennessee. “While the transition from high school to college can be exciting, it can also be challenging for many students. CAP will equip students with valuable resources and empower them to navigate the transition into college life, providing them with the foundation and support needed to succeed in their academic journey.”
CAP one-on-one mentoring matches mentors from Middle Tennessee with first-year, college-age mentees based on shared interests, similar life experiences and professional goals. Mentees receive weekly virtual check-ins and in-person meetings with their mentor and attend small group mentoring sessions throughout the semester.
