Offering Students Guidance and Growth

Project Mentor is a volunteer program that matches mentors with students of all ages.  Mentors offer students ongoing guidance for their personal and academic growth, helping students improve self-esteem, improve academically, and understand the relevance of their school work to their daily lives, and explore opportunities for the future that are compatible with the students' own special talents and interests.

Community members can volunteer to become mentors by committing to participation in the program for one school year, meeting with an assigned student for 30 minutes once a week on school grounds, agreeing to a background check from the Department of Public Safety, and attending an initial two-hour mentor training session and at least one mentor sharing session.   Training and sharing sessions are held throughout the year.  Check the PIE Calendar for upcoming dates.
