Capstone Mentor

Our revamped Capstone Program gives students the opportunity to transform their interests into purposeful, high-impact projects across six pathways:

Education & Programs

Software & Technology

Engineering & Innovation

Policy & Social Impact

Arts & Media

Ventures & Business

Each pathway is structured around three progressive outcome levels , designed to reflect a student’s journey from exploration and foundational execution to increasingly sophisticated, independent, and impact-driven work. As students advance, they are challenged to deepen their expertise, take greater ownership of their projects, and demonstrate tangible outcomes within their chosen field.

As a Capstone Mentor , you’ll guide students through their personalized project journey , helping them transform their ideas into meaningful, well-executed initiatives. You’ll support students in developing their vision, building and executing strategic plans, and progressing toward their pathway- and tier-specific outcomes.

Through regular mentoring sessions, document reviews, progress checkpoints, and coordination of expert consultations, you’ll provide the structure and guidance students need to stay on track. Your role is to help students take increasing ownership of their projects while ensuring they deliver work that demonstrates substantive growth, leadership, and meaningful impact - both within the project itself and as part of their broader college application journey.
