The Covington Mentoring Program at Holmes Middle and High Schools matches adult volunteers with 6th- through 10th-grade students. Mentors meet with students once a week during the school day (8 a.m. - 3 p.m.) for a year.
Mentors listen, support, befriend, and encourage local youth.
Students with mentors often show improvements in school attendance, academic achievement, and behavior.
A one-year commitment is required. Background checks are required of all volunteers. One-on-one training is provided with a program coordinator before volunteer starts to meet with student. On-site program coordinator is available for on going support.

About Covington Mentoring Program
Location:
257 Pike St., Covington, KY 41011, US
Mission Statement
To inspire and prepare our students excel academically and personally.
Description
Throughout Covington Independent Public Schools, more than 200 adults dedicate two to four hours a month as a positive adult role model to Covington youth through mentoring. Mentors have the opportunity to work with students in grades 3-12 in a program that meets their interest. They are school-based and visit at the school during school hours. All matches have the support of a coordinator. Mentors develop relationships with students and work together, in an informal setting, to strengthen life skills youth need to develop into healthy and productive adults. Their time spent together can be spent talking, playing games, doing art, reading, doing puzzles, attending sporting or school events, making dinner, visiting a park, trying a new restaurant, and more! Data shows that these positive relationships are highly impactful. Students with mentors increase their school attendance, behavior, and academic achievement.
