What is LIME?
Peer-to-Peer Mentoring
LIME is a peer-to-peer mentoring program between Lafayette College students and high school students from Lycée Andohalo Antananarivo, Madagascar.
College Application Guidance
The goal of LIME is to prepare Malagasy students for the process of applying to colleges in the United States. Twelve Lafayette students are selected each year to mentor them closely.
1.5-Year Mentoring Commitment
Lafayette LIME mentors formally commit to mentoring for 1.5 years, including a three-week trip to Madagascar in January.
A Lifelong Commitment
Though formal mentoring lasts for 1.5 years, the informal commitment is for a lifetime, fostering lasting connections between mentors and students.
