The Johnson City Mentor Program is a 2 credit internship program that pairs Binghamton University students with a Johnson City Middle School student for the entire academic semester.

Mentors will gain professional development skills for all industries. Including:
- Communication Skills
- Problem Solving Skills

Transportation is required for this internship. The Johnson City Middle School is about 10 minutes from campus, so if you have your own car, you can drive. We also create a carpool sheet at the beginning of the semester so that those without cars are able to find car pool based on their schedules. There is public transportation available to the Johnson City Middle School on the BC Transit #17 line.
