NOW HIRING STUDENT MENTORS - SUMMER 2021 

The Building Information and Technology (BITS) program is seeking Temple University students to mentor high school students in a virtual project-based learning Summer program. Every summer, the BITS provides a paid opportunity for high school students (14-18-year-old).

Mentoring youth during this unprecedented time will look different than it normally does, but the impact as a mentor will still be life-changing.
