Mission Statement

The School Based mentoring program takes place in the aftercare program of the Shelby County Schools.

The mentor work with the child on key goals that are geared to assist the child in key areas including academics, attendance and social skills. They must commit to a mentoring relationship for one year and meet with the child for one hour one day per week during the school year. The mentor must complete training, background check, reference check and processing.
