Since 2007, adults from Woodland Baptist have participated in partnership with the Kids’s Hope USA mentoring program to provide mentoring once a week (no more than one hour) with a mentor – a mentor who is there just for them. This one-on-one attention can make a world of difference for a student in need of another caring and consistent adult in their life.
It is an opportunity to build community relations by serving in real and tangible ways by building relationships that support students to thrive. It requires a background check necessary for volunteers in the school and a commitment on your part, but the rewards of being a mentor that can help enrich an elementary student’s life and provide support to a school staff dedicated to helping their students succeed make your effort a worthwhile endeavor.
