    Information about the video component:

    Lights, Camera, Action! We want you to make a 2-minute video introducing yourself to us and showing us the creativity and excitement that you can bring to our program. 


    We DO NOT want you to simply sit in front of the camera and tell us why you want to be a mentor, or list the reasons why you are qualified for this position. Also, please DON'T JUST tell us about your experience as a Freshman. In the past, students that have done this in their videos were not able to earn the full points on our acceptance rubric, and many missed the opportunity to be a mentor because of it.

    BE CREATIVE! - we want to see your leadership skills, outgoing personality and fun ideas come through! Think about including some of the following things mentioned below in your video. These are just ideas...feel free to think outside of the box!
    - Skits/ Role play
    - Do's and don'ts about how to be a good mentor (examples)
    - Songs (Creative or Spin offs) 
    - Examples of how you would run a Freshmen homeroom and the activities that you would plan (Show us!)
    - Examples of you working with others and modeling what type of mentor you would be
    - Showing how you could be silly, enthusiastic, energetic but yet a positive influence on those around you
    - Need more ideas? Find a current mentor and ask them what they did for their video!
     
    The video deadline is the same as the application (April 5th at 2:35pm). Please do not email us on that date to ask for extension due to technical issues. You will not receive one. Submit it in advance to be safe!

    The Freshman Mentor Club is a club made up of junior and senior students designated to help support and familiarize the incoming freshman class with the high school environment.
