Thank you for considering volunteering to serve as a mentor in the Shelton CT Public Schools! We are continuing to recruit for the 2023/24 school year and would welcome your participation!
Mentors serve as positive role models, helping to build the self esteem of their mentees. Following a background check and training program, you will be matched with a student in one of the Shelton Public Schools. You then meet with your "mentee" at school once a week throughout the school year- talking, playing games, reading or enjoying other activities.
As a mentor you will feel rewarded just seeing the changes that can occur as the young person you mentor matures and grows to reach their full potential.
Volunteering for just one hour each week can make a huge difference in a young person’s life. Won't you consider joining our mentoring team?

About Shelton Public Schools Mentoring Program
Location:
382 Long Hill Ave, Shelton, CT 06484, US
Mission Statement
Many students in the Shelton Public Schools benefit from their mentors - caring men and women throughout the Greater Shelton area who volunteer their time to spend one hour each week during the school day at schools throughout the city. These dedicated individuals are the heart and soul of the Shelton Public Schools Mentoring Program, and serve as positive role models for their Mentees.
Description
Mentors are paired with students in grades kindergarten through 12. The objective is to be a consistent, caring adult in the life of the child for an hour each week. As this is a school-based program, mentor/mentee pairs typically meet at lunchtime and eat, play games and work on schoolwork or projects. Background checks are done for new mentors, and there is a 2 hour training session to help them get started.
