Mentors Needed
The FISD Achieve Mentoring Program is pairing students with caring and committed volunteers from across the community to provide support and mentorship to PK-12 students.
“We are looking for people in the community who are caring, committed, consistent and well-rounded,” Ford said. “We want someone who is not afraid to be authentic and open to sharing their own life experiences.”
Once students are referred to the program and parent consent is received, students complete questionnaires that help guide the process of finding a compatible mentor.
After completing a background check and training, mentors meet with students for 30 minutes each week throughout the school year. While most mentors have one student, some have elected to serve several students.
