Mentor Application Mentor Application Thank You for your interest in volunteering as a BCYMP Mentor. After you complete this form, the BCYMP Mentoring Coordinator will email you the training steps you'll need to take before being matched. We will also ask you to complete a form that gives BCYMP permission to run a background check. Finally, after you complete your training, we'll ask you to attend a brief interview to answer any questions you may have and to allow BCYMP to tell you more about the specific needs in our community. These steps help us make the best possible Mentoring Match. Also, we ALWAYS need more Mentors, so please share this opportunity and application with any caring, responsible adult you know who'd be willing to spend one hour a week with student(s) in need of guidance and support. To the world you may just be one person, but to one person, you may be the world. #BCYMPBeOne About You Name * Date of Birth * Gender * Female Male Other Ethnicity * Local Address * Local Address Local Address Local Address City City State/Province Alabama Alaska Arkansas Arizona California Colorado Connecticut Delaware District of Columbia Florida Georgia Hawaii Idaho Illinois Indiana Iowa Kansas Kentucky Louisiana Maine Maryland Massachusetts Michigan Minnesota Mississippi Missouri Montana Nebraska Nevada New Hampshire New Jersey New Mexico New York North Carolina North Dakota Ohio Oklahoma Oregon Pennsylvania Rhode Island South Carolina South Dakota Tennessee Texas Utah Vermont Virginia Washington West Virginia Wisconsin Wyoming State/Province Zip/Postal Zip/Postal Email * Home Address (If you are an SDSU student, please put your home address, too.)
