Are you looking for a way to be the change in your community? How would you like to spend your extra time mentoring students at a local elementary school? We are looking for dedicated students who are willing and want to help change the world. Durant-Tuuri-Mott elementary school is at risk of being overtaken by the state unless we get our student attendance up. You have the power to help us do that through our successful mentoring program. Your mentoring may very well be the only thing that these students look forward to and may be the only reason they have a desire to come to school on any given day. The work will be challenging since a lot of our students are dealing with real challenges in their personal life, but the work you do will be rewarding. You will be able to see their attendance improve and you will be able to be the role model they may not have in their life.
Mentors will be responsible for meeting with their mentee 2 days a week either during lunch time 11:50-1:10, or after school hours from 4:00-4:20pm. Training will be provided. Mentors will be responsible for meeting with their mentee for the remainder of the school year.
Applicants will need to fill out an ICHAT form and be subjected to a background check which can take up to a month to be completed.
