Ways to participate
-
Be a mentor
Launched in 2020, the PFS Mentor Program builds a network of support by pairing high school students from Pasadena-area schools with PFS Scholars in grades 5–10. Through regular virtual check-ins, in-person gatherings, and volunteer opportunities, mentors provide academic and social-emotional support while fostering meaningful connections. From community service projects to shared cultural experiences, the program strengthens bonds and deepens the sense of belonging across the PFS community.

From assisting with summer academics and enrichment activities to leading workshops and sharing career experiences, volunteers play a vital role in expanding opportunities for students. By giving their time and talents, PFS volunteers help foster confidence, curiosity, and connection—strengthening the foundation of support that empowers every Scholar to thrive.
