MAPS Mentor Overview

What is a MAPS mentor?

A MAPS mentor is someone who wants to help students learn about their AP® subject and explore ways they can use the knowledge and skills in everyday life, college, and careers. The focus is on mentoring, challenging and tutoring AP® students.

Participating mentors will have an excellent opportunity to develop or hone their leadership, communication, and presentation skills. They will also gain a deeper understanding of the K-12 education system and the challenges faced by high school teachers.

I always look forward to meeting with MAPS students. It’s a highlight for me.
