Becoming a Primo

​​Becoming a Primo means investing your time and effort to help build a community of young Latinos ready to impact the world!

Primos help guide and motivate young people to become college, career, and life ready by providing them with the tools to develop self-efficacy, a growth mindset, and a commitment to service.

As a Primos mentor, you will be paired with a student for whom you will become a resource and pillar of support.

We will provide extensive training and on-going support alongside a 12 month curriculum to ensure you have all the resources to make your mentorship a success.

​2022-2023 School Year

​
Primos will provide ample resources, training and events to ensure mentors & mentees are set up for success.

We are continuing to focus on working with students from the Pleasant Grove area in Southeast Dallas. We will have high school aged mentees from various schools including H.Grady Spruce, Barack Obama Male Leadership Academy, Irma Lerma Rangel Young Women’s Leadership School, and Lassiter Early College High School.

We will individually match Primos to aim for optimal compatibility.

In order to make this a beneficial relationship for everyone, we require a one year commitment from all Primos.
