The Ventura College Women’s Basketball Mentor Program is designed for our student athletes to develop relationships with the staff of the College and with trusted members of the Ventura Community.  The program provides the opportunity for the players to achieve their full potential as students, as athletes, and as people.

     Mentors are chosen from the staff of Ventura College and from the community.  A vital quality of every mentor is an understanding of the student athlete and the unique challenges she faces during her college career.  Mentors meet with their player every week.  This time provides an opportunity for the students to establish a personal and professional relationship with a wise and trusted advisor.

     Freshmen are required to meet once a week with their mentor.  A missed appointment is like a missed practice.  In subsequent years there is no mandatory meeting time because the bonding for a lifelong friendship has usually taken place.

     Ventura College Women’s Basketball is successful for many reasons, but the foundation of that success is in personal relationships.  The Mentor Program allows students to develop relationships with the College staff and the community.  The coaches and players wish to thank all the mentors who generously donate their time and energy to this program.
