About This Opportunity
About Our In-School Mentoring Program (ISM)
The individualized In-School Mentoring program (ISM) is a weekly, school-based program where students identified as needing additional support are referred to for mentorship to promote academic and personal success. Volunteers are matched to one student/mentee based on mutual interests and personality traits, creating a Big/Little Sibling match. Each week, volunteers will visit their Little's corresponding school for a one-hour visit and participate in activities of their Little's choosing (e.g. arts and crafts, board games, sports, reading, baking, etc.).
Time Commitment :1 hour in-school visits each week /Spans across the school year (approx. September to June)
