Hi GeoMentors!
To continue to build the GeoMentor community, we're looking to regularly post a 'GeoMentor Spotlight', where we learn a bit more about one of our GeoMentor volunteers. The spotlight is a brief Q&A (see below) to help add faces and personalities to the concept of 'GeoMentors' in order to facilitate connections with teachers as well as encouraging others to participate as GeoMentors. These spotlights will be posted on our program website, online communities, and social media. If you are interested, please send your responses to the short set of questions below to geomentors@aag.org. We are excited to learn more about our GeoMentor community members!
(If you aren't a GeoMentor but would like to learn more about the program, please visit our website. We'd love to have you participate!)
