Mentor Role Description

Ever to Excel Mentor Role Description

听

Since 2016, Ever to Excel has welcomed high school students and young adults from all over the world to Boston College鈥檚 campus to take part in spiritual exercises, make friends, and reflect on their faith and its impact on building a meaningful life. Since the program鈥檚 inception, the leadership contributed by Ever to Excel鈥檚 Mentors has been an integral part of the program鈥檚 success.

Working in pairs or groups of three, Mentors will be responsible for fostering a welcoming and enjoyable group environment for the participants, while leading them in discussions about their faith life. Mentors demonstrate interior confidence, fed by their personal faith, which enables them to relate to others with warmth, inclusivity, and hospitality.

At the conclusion of this summer鈥檚 program, our hope is that the 700+ participants leave Ever to Excel feeling that they have had a special encounter with the best of Boston College, especially through their encounters with our Mentors, who exemplify the heart of Jesuit spirituality - to find God in all things.

Ever to Excel is an intensive program. Mentors will be expected to be engaged in the program and available to the staff and participants for the full duration of the program dates. This means that Mentors may not work a secondary job during the program dates for which they are hired.
