Horizons at SFFS is recruiting 16 dynamic, community-minded professionals to join our inaugural 9th grade volunteer mentorship program. Each mentor will be matched with one 9th grade student and meet them once every other week, in person or virtually. Mentors are trusted adults who offer guidance and support to students as they transition into their first year of high school; they encourage students to set academic and personal goals for themselves. Typical sessions might include:
- Preparing a study plan for upcoming tests and assignments
- Going ice skating or bowling to celebrate the end of the semester
- Attending a Horizons at SFFS event together and participating in activities alongside other mentor-student pairs
This is a volunteer position; each mentor will receive one $250 stipend to offset the cost of doing activities with their students, transportation, etc.
More opportunities with San Francisco Friends School
No additional volunteer opportunities at this time.
