Many young people go through life without the added support of a mentor and are more likely to drop out of high school.
Through the Take Stock in Children Scholarship Program, students are paired with a caring adult mentor who meets with them regularly at school or through virtual platforms. Relationships are formed and a pivotal transformation in each person’s life begins to take place. Many mentors have commented that they reap the benefits of mentoring, just like the student.
It's easy to become a mentor! Visit our website irscfoundation.org/tsic to complete the Volunteer Mentor Application and New Mentor Form and someone will be in contact with you.
Take Stock in Children is a comprehensive program that helps at-risk, low-income children succeed by providing college scholarships, volunteer mentors, student advocates/case managers, early intervention, and long-term support. High standards, parental involvement, and community support are crucial to the program's success.
