My Mentor My Friend
My Mentor My Friend matches caring adults of all ages in a lunch time mentoring program with 4th grade students in underserved public elementary schools across the city of Cleveland.
Volunteer lunch time mentors develop a relationship with one child throughout the school year that translates to improved attendance, academic attitude, social skills and self esteem for a child and a sense of fulfillment for a mentor.
Teachers surveyed reported improved self-esteem and social skills in 82% of their mentored students. 79% of students reported improved self-confidence, peer relations and ability to stay out of trouble.
It's easier than you think - Just listen, encourage, and appreciate a child at lunch time ... once a week, at any one of the following schools:
