The Triumph Mentoring Program is for CSU students who wish to gain experience teaching and mentoring a 3rd – 5th grade student in math, reading, and science. It focuses on academic enrichment and preparing students for success in school and beyond. The program pairs CSU student mentors with local students from the Poudre School District who are seeking extra academic support. The program began in 1990 and the Natural Sciences Education & Outreach Center, CNS Amplify, Harris Bilingual Immersion School, and El Centro have been partnering to host and coordinate Triumph since 2010.
