Become a Mentor: The Training Center

Save to Favorites

The Training Center is an academic enrichment program that partners with families and students to empower students to develop academically, socially and physically. One of the components of the program is one on one mentoring. Students are paired with an adult from the community. Students meet with the mentor outside of our schedule program to be encouraged to develop healthy habits, reinforce positive social behavior, and know someone is there just for them.
