Community Resources' Academic Mentors Project creates opportunities for high achieving, ambitious 5th - 11th grade Denver Public School students who have a passion or interest in a particular topic to connect with community volunteers who share that area of passion.

Volunteers are asked to commit a total of six hours over the course of 3-6 meetings with the student. All mentorships begin and end in the current school year.
