The APU Baseball Mentorship Program aims to develop well-rounded young men by facilitating mentorship between upperclassmen and freshmen. Spanning ten weeks in both the fall and spring, this program includes bi-weekly and monthly meetings to address social, spiritual, academic, and transitional challenges faced by new players. Our vision is to foster growth through Christ, scholarship, service, and essential life skills. As a mentor, you have the vital opportunity to guide underclassmen, helping them navigate their journeys and excel both on and off the field.
