Description

We are in need of mentors! 

Become a Hendrick Coach for one of our deserving college scholars!

HSF will welcome 20–25 new college scholars in April 2026, and each student will need a dedicated volunteer coach. While the majority of new coaching opportunities will begin in April, there may also be openings throughout the year if a student needs to be reassigned.

We’re actively recruiting now so we can match coaches as soon as opportunities arise—whether next week or next spring. If you're interested in making a meaningful difference, sign up today!

The HSF coaching program is the main differentiator between HSF and other scholarship organizations. One-to-one coaching is a significant contributor to a student’s academic success.

Students are each assigned a Coach to mentor them throughout the college journey. Coaches help their student monitor progress with their degree plan and stay on track to meet the Hendrick program requirements. They also provide direction with important decisions regarding other aspects of their student’s life and help guide students to learn to manage their time, set priorities, and develop good study habits. A coach is an advocate and a supportive resource, providing encouragement and helping the student stay focused on his or her goals.

Expectations of a Coach:

  • A willingness to learn about their student and build a relationship

  • Connect with their student once a month (phone, Zoom, or in person)

  • Attend end of semester Student Reviews (January and June)

  • Inform the Student Success Committee of any needs or questions that arise

  • Fill out a Coach Survey once a semester

The Coach commitment is for 4-6 years with the same student. This creates consistency and stability for the student.
