HIGH SCHOOL MENTOR

PROGRAM

High School students meet weekly with elementary school mentees to

engage in play, practice social-emotional skills, build literacy, and

more. In this program, High School Mentors are able to see

themselves as the role model, introduce healthier personal behaviors,

and make a real impact by being an active community member.

Our High School Mentor Program runs in partnership with county

school districts and service partner locations. Check below to see

where there is an active High School Mentor Program near you!
