Supporting the success of black males at Santa Fe College and beyond The MBK Diplomats program offers select students the opportunity to enrich and enhance their college experience with leadership roles and professional development. MBK Diplomats actively plan, coordinate and support MBK events, meetings and conferences, including educational outreach efforts targeting young people in our local community. WANTED: In addition to leadership training, letters of recommendation and priority registration for their classes, MBK Diplomats receive a stipend to pay for their textbooks. Even a small donation can help encourage and support these students.
Mentors The MBK Mentors program helps students to build relationships with professionals within the college and around the community. These volunteers assist students with personal and academic concerns, and provide them with reference letters. Students then serve as mentors to third graders in their community. WANTED: Volunteers are needed to work with our students. If you are a professional who can connect and provide guidance to a student at least twice a month, please contact the MBK program coordinator to start a volunteer application.
MBK students with a 3.5 GPA or higher are eligible to join Phi Theta Kappa (PTK), the international honor society for students at two-year colleges. The MBK Scholars program offers scholarships to these students, to pay the PTK membership fees. This stimulating community helps to bolster academic achievement. WANTED: The MBK Scholarship fund relies on donations from our community. MBK scholars are expected to give back; they're not just keeping their grades up, they are volunteering their time to mentor other students.
