The Life-Activation Mobilization Project (LAMP), is a mentoring/tutoring program whose goal is to help high school students obtain a rewarding education and activate their great potential in life. In particular, this initiative is for those who will become first-generation college students. Although LAMP will begin as an academically-structured program, we intend it to evolve into a broader vehicle of encouragement and motivation.
The program is designed for a one-on-one relationship between the student and his/her mentor. The personal aspect of this mentor-mentee relationship is by far the most important. That trust may significantly help the mentee to grow not only as an academic student but also as an independent individual. Thus, only the most dedicated and responsible participating Regents Scholars will be accepted as mentors into our program.
Our partnership is with University Senior High School of Santa Monica which is locally referred to as “Uni.” However, most of Uni’s student population is not from the area and is instead bussed in from socio-economically challenged regions such as South Central and East LA. Although students come from a variety of backgrounds, one thing is certain: there is definitely a need for positive role models in this community and Regents Scholars are the ideal candidates for the job.

LAMP INFO SESSION
| |
At our first LAMP informational meeting of the year, we discussed what LAMP is, who it's for, and why we are trying to start up this very important program. Much of the details are included in the LAMP info packet (download), but I would like to highlight some important information:
November 16, which is a Friday, is the deadline for all LAMP Staff applications. They can be downloaded off this page (see link). I want to reiterate that anyone can be a LAMP mentor/tutor so long as they have the heart to help high school students as well as the desire to learn from them and their experiences. However, LAMP staff must also have the time and availability to commit to what will be a program dedicated to the students it serves.
If you are too busy and you know you are too busy, then perhaps being a LAMP tutor/mentor is not for you. That's not to say that there aren't other ways to get involved.
That said, read over the packet, the staff application, and think about whether you want to become a part of this potentially life-changing program. Finally, let me know if you have any questions about anything.
Yours,
Jon Kang
