Student interns work closely with adult mentors to acquire knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in the workplace. Prior to placement, students are involved in a Community Classroom course to prepare them for their mentorship experience. Students further define and develop workplace skills at their mentorship site and at school.

School staff work in partnership with mentors to develop positive and useful experiences for students. Mentors are asked to make a year-long commitment to work with their student. School staff maintain communication with mentor sites to help mentors develop ideas and activities for their student, monitor student progress and problem-solve any questions or concerns.  

If you are interested in becoming a mentor or receiving more information, contact Heather Burns, Community Classroom teacher, at 503-763-8958 or by email at heather@communityschoolhouse.org.
