Attorney Mentor Application

We are so excited you are considering joining us as a mentor for our 9th and 10th grade students who participate in our Constitutional Law Debate Program. NJ LEEP mentors have the unique opportunity to make a direct impact on the learning and growth of our students. By providing them with support throughout the debate process you will both help them understand the case law/fact pattern and also develop skills including critical thinking, public speaking, presentation skills and confidence.

Our mentors play a truly valuable role in both the academic and personal growth of our students. If you have any questions about the application or mentoring, please contact Le’Nae Jenkins at ljenkins@njleep.org. Thank you for your interest!

Why are you interested in being an NJ LEEP mentor? What do you hope to gain from it and what are you most excited about?

Tell us a little bit about your hobbies, areas of interest or anything else you would want us to consider as we match you with a student.

Our mentors are one of the greatest sources of support our students have access to during their time with NJ LEEP. As with many high school students, they occasionally have challenges. With that, would you be comfortable working with a student who encounters any of the following?

English is not the primary language

Background Check

NJ LEEP will request a consumer report and/or investigative consumer report, as defined by the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act, on you from a consumer reporting agency in connection with your volunteering application and for volunteering purposes. A consumer report is a compilation of information that may affect your ability to volunteer for NJ LEEP. The background check will be administered by a third-party, GoodHire, and will include a (1) Social Security Number trace; (2) a nationwide criminal databases search; (3) a sex offender registry search; and (4) a statewide criminal records search (for most recent state of residence). You will receive a separate email with instructions regarding the background check process, and will then be contacted by Checkr to facilitate this process. NJ LEEP will contact you with further details around the background check process once you have been selected as an NJ LEEP mentor.
