mentoring
Our mentoring program pairs carefully screened adults with elementary aged students. The pair meet weekly over the lunch hour during the school year. Together you eat lunch, play games, and develop a friendship. We believe every child can benefit from having a dependable, positive role model. If you are interested in signing your child up for this free program, or are interested in being a mentor, please use the link below.
