Service LearningAt — Independent Minds Academy

Academic Success Mentor:

This opportunity places interns at the cutting edge of personalized education, working one-on-one with students each day. Interns help young people design their own learning from a thirty-year, hand-picked library of high-interest resources chosen to match each student's individual interests and needs. The role centers on guiding students to set and reach their own daily goals, develop strong learning habits, and build confidence that carries well beyond any single lesson. The model is student-led, interest-driven, and supported by the newest tools, grounded in a relationship-based philosophy: every young person grows best alongside a mentor who sees them as curious, capable, and worthy of full attention. It is a rare chance to provide the kind of individualized mentorship few classrooms can offer.

Bilingual Success Mentor - 

This opportunity centers on serving bilingual students and their community through the deeply personalized approach at the heart of the program. Working one-on-one, interns help each student design their own learning from a rich, hand-picked library of resources matched to their interests and level, honoring the language and culture they bring as a genuine strength. The role supports students in setting their own goals, building confidence across subjects, and growing in both languages, always grounded in the belief that they are capable and valued. For a student learning in a second language, a mentor who knows them well and believes in them can make a lasting difference. This is a meaningful opportunity to give young people a fair chance at success and the confidence to pursue it.
