We are thrilled you are interested in being a mentor with us this summer!  Our summer promises to be an amazing experience exploring the beauty of Biscayne Bay.  Your role as a mentor is a critical one as you will play an important role in changing the lives of our participants this summer.  As a mentor you will have the opportunity to work with all types of children with a variety of backgrounds and abilities!

Sessions:

The ten-week summer program will be divided into five two-week sessions.  All mentors are required to attend at least one full session, but more than one session is acceptable and encouraged.

• Session 3 (July 12th – July 23rd)
• Session 4 (July 26th – August 6th)

Mentors will be selected by the following criteria:

• Grade – You must have completed 9th grade by the start of the program to be eligible.
• Application – You must fully complete all sections of the mentor application (including the waiver that has to be signed by a parent/guardian).
• Experience – Anyone with previous watersports experience will be given extra consideration.
• Certifications – Any CPR, Lifeguard, boating, or similar certifications are a plus!
• Interview – Interviews will be conducted after the application is reviewed.

All selected mentors will be required to attend a parent/mentor orientation here at Shake-A-Leg Miami.  Some positions may require additional training.
