Tiered Community Mentoring participants celebrate the program's 10th anniversary in April 2019.
Have you been wanting to give back to the younger generation of students? Did you have a special mentor in your life as a young person? Share your knowledge of the legal profession and career advice with high school, college and law school students.
The Massachusetts Bar Association's Tiered Community Mentoring Program (TCM) is looking for attorneys to volunteer as a mentor. TCM matches practicing lawyers with students from high school, college and law school. The goal of the program is to provide information, guidance and real life experiences to participants, so they can make informed decisions regarding their future career.
The program is based in Boston and Worcester in an effort to reach urban high school students, with a focus on building a diverse mentoring network.

The MBA's Tiered Community Mentoring Program was the idea of Massachusetts Probate and Family Court Judge Angela M. Ordoñez. The program, which celebrated its 10-year anniversary in April 2019, was awarded an honorable mention in the American Bar Association Young Lawyers Division's Embracing Diversity Challenge in 2019 for its positive impact in the legal community and its continued commitment to increasing diversity in the legal profession. The program was also honored with the 2011 ABA Partnership Award. Click here to listen to the MBA's MassBar Beat podcast on the impact the TCM program has on students.
