Our In-School Mentoring Program pairs you with one elementary school student who you share common interests with.
Matches spend one-hour once per week together on school grounds doing non-academic activities such as playing sports, games, creating art or just hanging out at the playground. Our matches are paired for the duration, or remainder, of the academic school-year.
We are now accepting In-School Mentors for the 2026-27 school year starting in the Fall!
