Discover how Bayside High School launched an innovative AVID/ESL mentorship program that pairs AVID student leaders with multilingual learners to build organization, confidence, language development, and school connectedness. Participants will explore how cross-peer mentoring creates belonging while strengthening leadership and academic readiness for both groups. This interactive session will include program structures, student success stories, implementation tools, and hands-on planning strategies to replicate or adapt the model in any school setting. Attendees will leave with practical resources to build partnerships that lift students, strengthen culture, and prepare learners to be future-ready.
