Mentors are a crucial part of the ReNew Our Schools Program. A mentor is a professional expert, motivated or knowledgeable student, or any other individual who feels they can contribute to this important cause!
Mentors help the school conduct energy audits, identify measures to reduce electricity consumption and come up with fun and effective tactics to engage the community. Each mentor is given tools to help them be successful!
Not only do they provide support and valuable knowledge throughout the competition, they have the opportunity to serve as role models and encourage students to pursue careers in the energy and sustainability field.
“I did not know what I wanted to do with my life once I graduated from high school. Now I do!”
Pomona High School student.
