Research has shown that one caring adult can make a real difference in a child's life just by visiting regularly. This is a school-based mentoring program: 1 hour. Once a week. For the duration of the school year.
Mentor volunteers may tutor, connect students to strengthening resources, advocate for the student within the school structure, and sometimes are just there to listen and provide support. There is a particular need for male volunteers at this opportunity to mentor high school boys.
Training is provided: background check required.
