Mentor program takes group approach at Alta Vista
| Updated
A local nonprofit known for pairing high school students with individual adult mentors is trying a different approach at Alta Vista High School: bringing students together with mentors in a small group during the school day.
Mentor Tutor Connection launched the group mentoring program at the Mountain View alternative high school last school year, adapting its traditional one-on-one model to make mentoring more accessible to students who might find an individual relationship with an unfamiliar adult intimidating or difficult to fit into their schedules.
