Mentors and volunteers make a difference every day through their involvement with WEP. Current WEP mentor and volunteer opportunities are highlighted on the WEP home page. You may share your story (tips, words of wisdom, stories of experience) at any time so that we may draw upon your experiences and share with our students throughout the year.
WEP also depends on financial support from friends, alumni and companies to continue to serve more than 2,500 students each year. Volunteer contributions through the Friends of Alec Annual Giving Program provide scholarships and program support for WEP participants and initiatives.
