Emerging Leaders Program: Harvard College Student Mentors

Meet Our Mentors

Emerging Leaders Program mentors connect with, inspire, and mentor high school students on topics of leadership, social activism, and civic engagement.

Through participation in the program, mentors meet with their mentees during weekly in-person sessions, as well as engage in ongoing training and opportunities for reflection. By learning from the ELP curriculum, the holdings of the Schlesinger Library, their mentees, and each other, mentors develop hands-on knowledge and skills related to youth development, mentorship, leadership, and social movements.

By joining this vibrant and diverse cohort of mentors, Harvard undergraduate students have the opportunity to meet classmates outside their own concentration or extracurricular networks and experience the power of positive, supportive community.
