In collaboration with Toledo Public Schools, Open Arms Community Center of Toledo is offering a mentoring program inside of local Elementary schools. We are kicking off this initiative at Chase Elementary School. We are seeking energetic and engaging individuals who have a heart for children and a desire to see them thrive. We currently have 22 children wait listed ranging from 2nd grade to 8th grade needing assistance in the following areas: confidence, academics, social skills and adaptability. We have time slots available both during school as well as after school. We are asking for at least an hour a week commitment.
Could that be YOU? If so, please sign up today to make an impact within your community!

Mission Statement
A 501(c)(3) was organized to eliminate social tension associated with teen violence, inappropriate social skills, unemployment, an indifference to the community and to develop an inclusive relationship with seniors. Open Arms origins were born out of a sense of outrage as to why teens were behaving so irresponsibility. We at OACC believe our host of programs are meaningful and bring about positive outcomes and will be a guide towards positive success. Our Motto is: Serve, Educate and Reform!
Description
