Description
The School/Business coordinator personally contacts business and industry in our community encouraging them to allow employees to mentor and tutor in our schools one hour per week. Employees are paid by the employer for this volunteer time.
Business and Industry are also asked to partner with a school. This involves employees tutoring/mentoring and also investing dollars to sponsor field trips, school events, serving on the school council, etc.
