Mentors in our Site-Based Mentoring program are provided ongoing professional training and support from our staff to ensure an enjoyable relationship for both the child and the volunteer.  This program is a good match for volunteers who are looking for a supervised mentoring environment.

Who can be a Site-Based Mentor? Site-based mentors can be anyone from freshmen in high school on up (including adults), who are looking to build a solid friendship with a child.  Volunteers in this program come from many different backgrounds and have diverse interests. How often do matches meet? Site-based matches meet consistently for an hour-and-a-half a week, at a specified time, typically only during the school year. What do we do together? The possibilities are endless, but for starters you could: Help with Homework • Read a Book • Talk to Each Other • Do Word Searches • Play Games • Help with a Science Fair Project • Visit the School Library • Work on the Computer • Journal Practice Math Facts • Draw • Play Kickball • Shoot Hoops • Write a Story • Design a Web Page • Illustrate a Story • Have Fun Why?

Because it's proven that mentoring makes a BIG impact in a child's life, and it will make a BIG difference in your life too. Do you want to take the next step in getting involved as a Site-Based Mentor?  If so, click the "Next Step" button below.  Or learn about our community mentoring program.
