The Mentorship Center’s aim is to provide "at-risk" students in the local area with mentoring programs and other activities to help guide them into various school and career roles. The high schools the Mentorship Center targets each have a focus on hospitality, tourism, culinary or event planning curricula. This ties in nicely with SDSU’s School of Hospitality and Tourism Management.

Some of the various activities of the Volunteer and Mentorship Center Include:

High School Mentoring Programs
Volunteer opportunity coordination for both high school and SDSU Students
High School Hospitality Conference
Campus tours
Annual Hospitality Job Fair
Classroom Speakers from students and industry professionals
Assistance with Scholarships
Industry networking events
Website of resources for High School Students.
