Student 5.0 for High School Seniors

Class of ’21 high school seniors have a lot to be thinking about . . .

What happens after high school?

• College? 2-year? 4-year?
• Straight to career?
• Apprenticeship?
• Military?
• Something else?

If you (or someone you know) would like help figuring this out, Student 5.0 is a no-cost peer mentor program for high school seniors to plan what comes next.

Students — what comes next depends on what you want to do. With COVID-19 still disrupting building access, this all-virtual program can be a big help.

How does Student 5.0 work? 

The Student 5.0 program creates a student-peer mentor partnership. Together, you develop a plan, and based on that plan your peer mentor guides and supports you through:

• • career research
  • college/training program enrollment
  • financial aid forms
  • job interview readiness
  • resume writing
  • personal budgeting
  • and more, including an opportunity to earn a $200 e-gift card

  Special Note: Once the plan is created, peer mentors remain connected with Student 5.0 participants to support participants and better ensure that the plan is successfully executed!

  Student 5.0 peer mentors often have shared experiences and backgrounds with the students they support. Most peer mentors are in college or beginning their careers. They successfully broke through barriers to access resources that support their goals — and they’ll help you do that, too. Note: bilingual Spanish-English and Albanian-English peer mentors are available. 

  Space is limited. Priority will be given to Class of ’21 graduates from Alliance District high schools.
