Getting involved with HBCU First mentoring programs is a great opportunity for personal growth and college preparation. To get involved, start by visiting the HBCU First website and look for any application guidelines or contact information.

The benefits of such programs include guidance from college students or professionals, which can offer insight into the college experience, particularly at HBCUs, and help you build a strong network.
