About the YHC Mentoring Program

The YHC Mentoring Program has become a key component of the Evans Scholar experience, offering students the invaluable opportunity to connect with alumni mentors who can help guide their personal and professional growth. As Evans Scholars engage in meaningful on-campus employment and explore career pathways, alumni mentors play a critical role in helping them set goals, emphasize skill development, and gain real-world insights. By sharing their own journeys, alumni provide perspective, encouragement, and connections that empower scholars to graduate with clarity, confidence, and a clear direction for the future. Your involvement as a mentor strengthens the legacy of Young Harris College and helps shape the next generation of purposeful, career-ready graduates.

“Alumni mentoring has been such a beneficial and supportive experience. Getting to talk with and learn from someone that has been in the same shoes as you, and is out in the real world doing what you plan to do in the future is something everyone should be to be a part of.”

“Having an alumni mentor has been a game-changer. When I sought out advice regarding anxiety, personal life issues, and career exploration, my mentor helped me see things more clearly. They’ve been there, done that, and are super willing to share what they learned. It’s been incredibly valuable to connect with someone who not only understands my professional aspirations but also shares my faith and moral values. It’s like having someone in your corner who gets it. Definitely a huge thumbs up for the alumni mentoring program – it’s made a real difference for me.”
