Mentor

Have fun getting to know a student through a variety of activities including sharing a hobby, working on an assignment, playing a game or sport, or just "hanging out." Time with a positive adult role model is somthing kids ask for over and again. A mentor is a friend and a good listener and helps build the self-confidence students need to succeed in school.
