Mission Statement

The Village Movement Mentoring Program provides group mentoring to selected LAUSD schools for young men and women. One of the goals of the program is to expose young people to role models who look like them and who have overcome many of the challenging circumstances that our young people currently face. Another goal is to provide students with the necessary skills and strategies that will enable them to be college-prepared and career-ready. The Student Unit is looking for volunteers to mentor elementary thru high school students twice per month at their school sites.

Description
