How is a mentor selected?

Do I have the option of requesting a mentor outside my ethnic group?

Absolutely! "mentee" are at liberty to request a mentor outside his/her ethnic group at any time.

What if I am not a person of color and want to be involved with ENDURE?

Although the program is designed for Eastern students of color, we are open to exploring options of incorporating others as both mentors and "mentee".
