Colleges and Universities

Participating universities and colleges must work with CREAR Futuros through a campus liaison. Campus liaisons identify students with the academic and leadership skills and hire them to become a Mentor. Campus liaisons also help recruit CREAR mentees and play a supportive role throughout their engagement.
