The In-School Mentoring Program matches children with volunteers who act as positive role models while connecting with the “Littles” over personal experiences and shared interests.
The volunteer and child meet together in person once a week for 1 hour at the child’s school. These 1:1 matches get to hang out and have fun together while participating in a variety of activities such as playing board games, doing arts and crafts, playing sports, baking and more.
In School Mentoring is also available virtually at select schools. Learn more about Virtual In School Mentoring.
