Journal Entry #4
Advocacy and Community Outreach
At our last meeting, we discussed community outreach, how to become involved, and why this involvement is important in our future practice. We also heard about the example of rural communities and understanding their setup, cultural practices, hierarchal importance, considerations for effective communication, etc.
Please share your thoughts on the class.

Resources
Hello Mentors,
Just a note that I have added some helpful links on topics such as interest and values identifiers, study skills, high school time line, admissions information, scholarship search, SAT prep, resume writing, interview tips, salary information, etc. Most of theses resources are from GACollege411 and they definitely fit into the syllabus for Near Peer. I have uploaded a document with all the links, something that you could give to your students if you are interested in doing so.

Great job to all the mentors for a very successful and positive first meeting with your students! We are off to a wonderful start; great connections have already been made and thank you to the mentors for creating such a friendly and inviting environment for the high school students to feel comfortable enough to share their experiences and for helping each one to feel good about asking any questions that they may have. The high school students are already learning about the realities of healthcare career ladders and the many different pathways that people can take. Thank you again mentors for giving your time and allowing your high school students to get the individual attention and the positive role model that they need!
