Horns Helping Horns (HHH) is a program for independent students at the University of Texas. Students may be alumni of foster care, emancipated from their parents, or independent for other reasons. HHH provides financial support, as well as educational workshops, peer support, and access to resources at the university. We are working to rebuild our network of mentors, and I hope you will consider serving students in this capacity.

Mentorship is invaluable for these students, providing critical individual guidance and support, access or referrals to campus and community resources. HHH mentors are assigned to a student based on interest and/or identity and are expected to meet with their mentee at least once a month. Each semester, one social event will be provided for mentors and mentees to attend together.  Training will be provided prior to assignment, and ongoing support will also be available.

If this is something you are interested and available for, please fill out the following survey by Tuesday, October 17:

Mentors will be identified and contacted by October 20. Training for mentors will be held in November. All those who express interest will be contacted, even if we don’t have a student to match you with this semester.
