TOPSS Ethnic Minority Recruiting Project

Introduction

The Ethnic Minority Recruiting Project was proposed in order to expose minority high school students to career options in psychology, and to encourage and motivate these students to consider pursuing psychology as a career. This was initially a joint venture with TOPSS, the APA Membership Committee, the APA Office of Ethnic Minority Affairs and PT@CC.

The project was designed to facilitate meetings with minority high school students and minority two- and four-year college students and faculty, and with local minority psychologists. The project aims to introduce ethnic minority students to successful minority students and professionals who can serve as role models and mentors. Pilot projects have been successful, serve as excellent examples of what can be done in various communities.
