Mentors needed for Scott County students
ORGANIZATION: United Way of the Bluegrass, Inc
Please visit the new page to apply.
RSVP Trailblazers, a Senior Corps project, seeks caring, responsible adults to mentor middle school and high school students in the area.
Our mentors will:
- Guide a young person through the school year
- Listen to students without judgment
- Be reliable, punctual, and dependable
- Model good behavior and sound judgment
- Help students set personal and academic goals and stick to them
All volunteers for RSVP Trailblazers must be 55 or older, must pass a background check, and must be willing to meet students for at least an hour a week during the school year, beginning in September 2018.
Mentors make a difference. Students need a responsible, positive adult influence who is neither a parent nor a teacher through their teen years. By sharing your time and experience, you can help a young person grow, mature, and meet adulthood with a realistic plan in place.
