Moscow Mentor Volunteer

Moscow Mentor Volunteer

Volunteer today to support students in the Moscow School District! The Moscow Mentor Program is a school-based program that provides social and emotional support for students. Research shows a positive one-to-one relationship between a youth and a caring, responsible adult can significantly impact a child’s development. The program enhances children’s social, personal, and academic growth by involving concerned community members in their school experience.

Volunteers work closely with a child as his or her mentor. A mentor is a trusted friend, a role model, tutor, and guide. Mentors spend a minimum of one hour with the child at school, during school hours, once a week.

All volunteers will be screened and trained before being matched with a student mentor. Optional training sessions and social activities are offered throughout the year. On an ongoing basis, teachers, staff, and mentor advisors guide volunteers.
