Discovering Paths 2025-2026 Mentor Application & Clearance Process
INTRODUCTION
Thank you so much for your interest in serving as a mentor for the Lancaster Chamber's Discovering Paths Mentoring Program. The Discovering Paths Mentoring Program inspires, guides, and empowers high school juniors as they consider their next steps.
Completing this application and uploading your clearances is the next step in the process to becoming a mentor! Once the application is completed, we will evaluate mentor-mentee pairings at the beginning of the upcoming school year and let you know if we are able to provide you with the perfect match!
The Meet & Greets are an important aspect of the Discovering Paths Mentoring Program, and the dates that we have are listed below for you to review with your calendar. Dates will be updated as schools schedule their Meet & Greets.
You will spend a minimum of 45 hours engaged with the program throughout the school year.
Incomplete applications at the end of the recruitment time period will be removed from consideration. Once you've been selected and paired, we will walk you through our registration process. As a reminder, registration costs $160.
If you have any questions, please reach out to Maya Fenner at mfenner@lancasterchamber.com.
