PRO TIP:

When evaluating whether a mentor would be a good match for your student keep in mind that the greatest leading indicator of success is how well a mentor and their mentee get along.

Questions to ask yourself:

Would the student find this person inspiring?
Do they share any interests, hobbies, or lived experiences?

Alden F. (IN A NUTSHELL)

Alden is a sophomore at Brown University pursuing a degree in Gender and Sexuality Studies and Theater Arts. Before attending Brown, Alden took a gap year and gathered global work experience in fields from sustainable farming to English tutoring. Her work with teaching students English and Spanish led her to found a "Female Empowerment Summer Camp" for young girls. She continues to expand these workshops and camps with the goal of educating younger generations on the gender dynamics within society and encouraging them to feel empowered and comfortable in their bodies. With a background in dance and theater, Alden is interested in studying the ways in which movement and performance can be used for healing. To explore this further, she received her 200-hour yoga teacher training, and now instructs yoga and meditation classes in Providence. In her free time, Alden enjoys singing with her band, crafting, and cooking! This summer, Alden will be in Jackson Hole, Wyoming working for a non-profit called "Womentum" that connects female-identifying people with older mentors to encourage women to take ownership of their careers.
