Description

The School-Based Mentor Program empowers youth to succeed by establishing trusting relationships with adult volunteers. Mentors have a significant impact on youth by increasing self-esteem, providing guidance and developing consistent, long-term friendships. Volunteers spend an hour a week one-on-one with an elementary, middle or high school student at school.
