Your Experience Could Help Someone Believe in Their Own Potential
Mentorship is one of the central pillars of Bernales Foundation. Education gives students knowledge. Mentorship can help them understand how to use that knowledge in the real world.
Bernales Foundation connects scholars with professionals who are willing to share their time, experience, perspective, and lessons learned. Mentors are encouraged to meet scholars approximately once a month.

Navigating the first years of employment
You do not need to have all the answers.
Sometimes simply listening, sharing your experience, or telling a young person that you believe in their potential can make an enormous difference.
And through our multiplier model, today's scholar could eventually become tomorrow's mentor.
