In School Mentoring

In School Mentoring Program

Our In-School Mentoring Program connects adult and teen volunteers 1:1 with students at local
elementary schools. Students are referred by school support staff and often benefit from having
dedicated time with a caring mentor during their school day. The program runs from October through
mid- to late May, with volunteers meeting with their mentee for approximately one hour each week.
Visits take place on school grounds during school hours. Activities vary depending on the school and the
interests of the mentee, and may include indoor or outdoor sports and games, cooking or baking, arts
and crafts, or simply spending time together and chatting.

The In-School Program is a great option for those hoping to make a difference in a young person’s life
but who might not be able to make the time commitment required by the Community Mentoring
Program. It also provides a more structured environment for visits, and you’ll have support from both
our agency team and your mentee’s school to help make the experience positive and rewarding for
everyone involved.
