The Purple Knight Alumni Mentor Program (PKAMP) is designed to connect St. Augustine High School alumni with current students for mentorship.

​

Program Purpose and Goals

• PKAMP celebrates the achievements of Saint Augustine High School graduates and aims to enhance student success in their chosen careers.

• The program fosters camaraderie among alumni and provides one-on-one mentorship to high school seniors, addressing social injustices and promoting the potential of African American men.

Mentor Responsibilities and Commitment

• Mentors are alumni who share their career experiences with graduating students, inspiring them to pursue similar paths.

• The expected commitment involves connecting with mentees for a few minutes every other month over approximately five years, aligning with the academic calendar.

• Mentors can utilize technology for communication, such as Zoom or WhatsApp, especially if they are not local.

Application and Participation

• Interested mentors must submit a completed application and a signed 'Who-Dat' Statement to ensure they meet program standards.

• Mentors can support multiple students if they have the capacity.

• If a mentor can no longer participate, they should inform their mentee and may transition them to another alumni mentor.

Contact Information

• For questions, mentors should reach out to their class representative or the school’s Director of Student Affairs & External Engagement.
