United Ministries


The “Clemson MBA Community Mentors” program with United Ministries is still going strong.  Thank you to those of you who have taken the time to volunteer and work with United Ministries to be a mentor to their students.  Keith Trout, their Executive Director, told us that success stories always come because of the relationships that their students build with their mentors.  Some just need that extra boost of confidence and support that they might not be getting from home.

This program does not have a specific time requirement so you can come and go as it fits your schedule.  If you are interested in learning more or volunteering, please contact me (jpatte4 at clemson.edu<mailto:jpatte4 at clemson.edu>) for the application and additional information.
