WHAT'S NEXT: 

UPCOMING PROJECT LAUNCH EVENTS:

Project Launch is excited to host a kayaking event for Mentors & Mentees through Kayak & Sail Lynn! On Saturday, August 16th, we're doing our 1st mentor mentee excursion of the year — what better way to "break the ice" than getting on the water!

We meet at RAW at 10:30 am, drive over to the Blossom Street Boat Launch on the Lynnway at 11 am, and kayak for 1-2 hours! We should wrap by 2 pm latest, with formal dismissal for the mentees back at RAW. In the case of poor weather or tidal activity, please also hold the rain date of Sunday, August 17th! Sign-ups are on a first-come, first-served basis — after you meet your mentee, ask if they'd like to try this activity!

UPCOMING MENTOR TRAININGS:

August 6th, 2025: Thank you for joining us for the Mentor Onboarding Training! If you are a new mentor who was unable to attend, please set up a time to meet with Kaitlyn, and we can review the training!

October 2025: Plan on a fall training that includes technical college advising topics like applications, essays, and career pathways and strategies for effective mentorship.
