TUTORING
Tutors meet once every week with elementary school students or middle school students to help tutor in math & reading or help with homework. This is a great opportunity to build relationships & invest in kids’ futures through education.
MENTORING
Mentoring is an incredible way to affect the life of a student. In fact, after 18 months with mentors, an evaluation of children revealed that boys and girls are:
- 46% less likely to use illegal drugs
- 27% less likely to use alcohol
- 37% less likely to skip class
- 53% less likely to skip school
- 33% less likely to hit someone
Mentors commit to meet with a student at least twice a month. Mentoring takes place at the elementary, middle, and high schools with a minimum commitment of 2 years.
