Temple University first-year students have the opportunity to be mentored individually by upperclass students through the Next Steps AmeriCorps Program. The program is designed to assist and support first-year students through the course of the Fall and Spring semesters. First-year students who have been part of a pre-college access program in high school such as Upward Bound, Stepping Stones, Mentor4Philly, Breakthrough Collaborative, Philadelphia Futures, and many others are encouraged to apply.
