The Crossroads School Mentoring Program connects students from Crossroads with professionals who work in neighboring companies. Mentors volunteer an average of two hours per month, providing guidance and a listening ear to students. Through open dialogue, arts and activities, mentors and their students are able to build lasting relationships that may extend well beyond their middle school experience.
All mentoring activities are planned by the school counselor, mentors are only required to eagerly attend their scheduled sessions and cultivate relationships with their students! We welcome new mentors in the Baltimore area who are dedicated to improving the lives of our youth.
We meet two times per month for an hour, beginning in October and ending in May.
The core mission of The Crossroads School is to raise student achievement by combining rigorous academic standards and hands-on learning experiences. Serving 160 students, The Crossroads School is a public charter 6-8 grade middle school located in Fells Point operated by the Living Classrooms Foundation. Our cross-disciplinary, hands-on approach has led to unprecedented success, and many of our students go on to Baltimore’s best public or private high schools. Enrichment opportunities are offered to broaden students’ horizons and encourage them to express themselves beyond the work they do in their core courses.
