Interested in Becoming a Student Ambassador for New Students or a Student Peer Mentor?
Student Ambassadors for New Students
As a Student Ambassador, you will assist new students throughout their first Red and Blue Day at Justice High School. Responsibilities include:
- Student Ambassadors will attend a formal orientation on Fri, 10/11 and then a mid-year check-in
- Meet your new student in Student Services on the first day (only assigned to one each time)
- On a Red Day, take your new student to get a laptop and escort to 1st period
- On a Blue day, give your new student a tour of the school and/or pick up a laptop
- Meet your new student for the class transition and escort them to the next period for their first Red and Blue Day
Student Peer Mentors
Student Peer Mentors will be matched with a younger student who needs support and will be provided training on how to be a Student Mentor. Student Peer Mentors could be matched with a mentee at Justice or another FCPS school in the local area. Student Peer Mentors are eligible for Service Learning credit for mentoring hours. Student mentors and mentees will be carefully selected by school staff. Student Mentors should be:
- Students who can positively contribute to the school community through their actions and their words when they are meeting with their mentee
- Students who can be a positive role model for another student
- Students who can faithfully and consistently show up for meetings with their mentee (they are looking forward to meeting with you and it's difficult if you cancel or arrive late often)
If you're interested in one or both, please complete the Interest Form - Deadline Friday, October 4!
