Just an hour a week can change a students life! At Pierce Elementary, there is a need for adult mentors to spend time with at-risk students. Our students need adults as caring role models to spend time, eat lunch, read with them, and play games. Studies show that mentoring increases student success, attendance, and esteem. It is incredible to see the difference mentoring makes! Volunteer at Pierce and have fun, getting to know our students!
Mentors will meet with their student Mondays and Fridays during the students lunch. First lunch is from 11:30am-12:00pm, second lunch is 12:30pm-1:00pm.
Training of mentors will be provided by Pierce Community Education staff: focusing on the needs of specific students and their respective academic and behavioral challenges. Each mentor will be matched with 1 student.
