Mission - Mentors strive to help students organize their classwork,
improve their school performance and attendance record,
help foster feelings of self-worth, and serve as a friend
and positive role model.
Volunteer Experience - Mentors
meet at the school with their mentees for one to two periods
a week during school hours. They may help with homework and
special projects, discuss favorite books, sports or movies
and play games.
They are not expected to simply be a tutor,
but to develop a relationship of friendship and trust. Each
mentor’s role will develop as she or he and the mentee
begin to meet regularly. Through the support of the ongoing
relationship a student develops a more positive self-image
and self-esteem, both essential to learning and crucial in
developing self-control and responsibility.
