San Diego County Office of EducationPASS AmeriCorps Mentor
Sep. 2021 - Jun. 2022San Diego, California, United StatesIn this role, I managed a caseload of 30 at-promise (aka 'at-risk') students (grades 9-12). While my main responsibility was to support the students on my caseload, I had the privilege of working with hundreds of students campus-wide. Kearny High is a very special place and I'm so grateful that I was able to spend 10 months serving there. Everyone, from students to teachers, from the administrators to the lunch ladies, welcomed me with open arms and made me feel like a part of the community. I was able to develop very impactful relationships with students and staff, alike. Every challenge that I faced, as well as those that the rest of the school community faced, led to growth, and I left Kearny feeling very inspired and grateful.
