Mentoring for middle and high school students

Save to Favorites

Mentors are needed to work with high school and middle school students in Marietta City Schools at Marietta MS, and Marietta PLC and in Cobb County Schools at Osborne HS, Pebblebrook HS, Campbell HS, South Cobb HS and the Cobb PLC. Mentors meet one hour a week with students and can make a positive impact on whether a child successfully completes school. Also, mentoring can connect children with: a healthy start in life, marketable skills through effective education and an opportunity to give back through community service. Mentoring can also cultivate character and allow adults to serve as a friend, a trusted counselor, a tutor, or a coach.

WHO CAN BE A MENTOR?
A mentor is an adult who, along with parents, provides young people with support, counsel, friendship, reinforcement and constructive example. Mentors are good listeners, people who care, people who want to help young people bring out strengths that are already there.
