The Bigs on Campus initiative provides an opportunity for community members—including alumni of St. Cloud State University, the College of Saint Benedict/Saint John’s University, and St. Cloud Technical & Community College, as well as others who are passionate about mentoring—to make a meaningful impact in the lives of local youth.
Through this initiative, mentors help introduce young people to the college environment, offering firsthand exposure to campus life and the possibilities of post-secondary education.
This program is especially impactful for students who may be the first in their families to attend college. Mentors serve as guides, role models, and sources of encouragement, helping youth explore their potential and build confidence in pursuing higher education.
The commitment is twice a month in person from October thru May around the lunch hour and staying in contact via mail, phone, text, etc. the remaining months.
