ABOUT THE PACE CENTER
The Pace Center is VCU’s United Methodist campus ministry. Pace equips and empowers students to be servant leaders who build diverse community by lifting up the gifts of all. Each semester, over 1,000 students use their gifts to create student-led programs such as Stories & Lunch (a communal meal), Crochet Club, food pantry volunteering, and Bible study. Reveille supports Pace through funding and volunteers. Volunteers participate in a number of ways including making homemade meals for student events and mentoring students interested in their professional fields.
WHAT DOES MY MENTOR COMMITMENT INVOLVE?
It’s really easy. As a mentor, you will be paired with a student at VCU that could greatly benefit from your life’s experiences. The program is set up for you to have two virtual or personal meetings per semester with your student “mentee.” They will greatly benefit from your advice on a wide range of topics, such as career pursuits, interviewing tips, graduate school applications, and other important life events, like signing a lease. Sometimes, students just want to hear a friendly encouraging voice that brightens their day. The commitment on your part is small but your positive impact on their lives can be beyond measure.
HOW CAN I HELP?

On their website, click the “BE A MENTOR” button or text.
Then, Pace will pair you with a student who is pursuing a similar field of study or who has similar interests. You don’t have to be an expert on anything, just a willingness to share what you know. Pace is trying to grow it’s number of core mentors to ensure that every student who wants a mentor can have one.
