Compton Mentor Fellowship Program
|
The Compton Foundation created the Mentor Fellowship Program to promote the creativity and support the commitment
of graduating seniors from participating schools as they move beyond academic preparation to focus on continuing "real world" application and
contribution. The Fellowship is intended to be for one year, beginning and ending at an annual mid-June gathering
of Fellows held in the San Francisco area.
The Compton Mentor Fellowship Program is based on the belief that life-changing experiences occur when formal learning
becomes transformed by action. Such complementary learning helps one see - and appreciate - the larger world through
different eyes and a broadened perspective. In a sense, each Fellow co-creates the program: the pragmatic, self-directed
nature of the Fellowship experience is meant to deepen and enrich knowledge, and guide Fellows to apply new understanding
of themselves and the world in original ways.

"I cannot think of a better way to encourage young
creative minds to forge their own destiny and effect positive change for
humanity."
