The Actuarial Foundation's Advancing Student Achievement (ASA) mentoring program continues at North Atlanta High School.

Mentoring opportunities will allow you to:

Work with students: These mathematically gifted students are not offered many opportunities to explore non-routine problems and conduct mathematical research. These highly motivated and talented students need more opportunities to experience higher-level mathematics with mentors who have a genuine interest in math.

Participate in innovation: Prepare students to compete in a traveling mathematics team that will compete in regional mathematics competitions. Help these students learn how to use high-level mathematics in different problem settings. Or, work with students on developing long-term mathematical research over the course of the year. Mentors will help students identify a meaningful research topic, determine appropriate strategies for gathering data, determine appropriate strategies for analyzing data, and determine if their research has significant results.

Work in a fun environment: Actuaries are needed to meet with students on Thursdays 3:30-4:30pm or 5:00-6:00pm during the months of October through February.
