The Citrus College Men of Color mentor program plans to provide male students of color with support, guidance and encouragement. The first annual Men of Color conference will be held on March 26 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Being involved in such a program could provide pathways to opportunities such as college support services, internships and leadership possibilities. The deadline to register to attend is March 19.
The mentor program’s statement of purpose is to empower, inform and value students through the development of a network within the college community. All gatherings are said to be a safe space for male students of color to express their experiences and make meaningful connections.
The panelists are: Jorge Acosta and Rafael Herrera from Counseling; Kinesiology and Athletics Dean Junior Domingo; mathematics and business faculty member Levi Richard; automotive technology faculty member Mariano Rubio and Raul Sanchez from EOPS/CARE and CalWORKS.
Multiple scholarships for $500 will be awarded at the conference to students who are enrolled in a minimum of 6 units and have a commitment to be kind and lend a helping hand to others.
