Mentoring
The Mentoring Program supports Early College High School (ECHS) students on UNT Dallas’ campus. This program pairs our ECHS students with a UNTD college student to journey alongside them as they transition out of high school into college. Programming is centered around college readiness, self advocacy, and volunteerism.

The college and career readiness program focuses on post-high school readiness and individual wellbeing. Partnering with New Tech High School college and career readiness classes, this program compliments existing campus initiatives with UNTD resources.
