What is AAMP?
Established in the fall of 1989, the Asian American Mentor Program (AAMP) is a student-run organization that fosters a sense of cultural belonging. AAMP mentors engage with mentees through sub-committees focused on mentee-mentor relationships, political education, wellness, and outreach. In the past, AAMP has hosted off campus trainings which included visiting community-based organization in the local region. All AAMP activities and events provide an opportunity for mentees to interact with each other and mentors in a focused setting that is conducive to a social as well as intellectually stimulating experience.
AAMP mentors support mentee and their allies with meaningful relationships; they provide new students with a safe space for discussion, education, activism, and exploring issues at the intersections of identity development and sense of belonging. Mentors work with mentees to explore and learn how to express their identities within historical, social, and personal contexts. AAMP also strives for inclusivity by building coalitions and promoting discourse with other organizations and communities within and beyond Pomona College.
AAMP is anchored at the Asian American Resource Center (AARC).
