iC.A.R.E. Mentor

Flexible Schedule | Akron, OH 44303

Want to make a difference in the life of a local student? iC.A.R.E. Mentoring, a program of Red Oak Behavioral Health, matches caring adults to mentor one student, for one hour, once a week, for one school year. Our volunteers work with K-12 students in the Akron, Barberton, Cuyahoga Falls, and Tallmadge public schools. We support our volunteers with training, supplies, and a comprehensive curriculum workbook that covers important skills such as goal setting, resilience, and self confidence. Why mentor? Youth of all ages benefit from having a relationship with a caring and consistent adult role model. Student with a mentor are: 55% more likely to be enrolled in college than those who did not have a mentor. 52% less likely than their peers to skip a day of school. 46% less likely than their peers to start using illegal drugs and 27% less likely to start drinking. (National Mentoring Partnership) Ready to learn more? Sign up for a 30 minute virtual information session to learn the basics of iC.A.R.E., what you can expect as a mentor, and much more. Please contact Celeste Tannenbaum, iC.A.R.E. Recruitment Coordinator, at ctannenbaum@redoakbh.org or (330) 815-2614 with any questions.
