What is In School Mentoring?

It's a small commitment that makes a big difference, no money , no experience nessary.

-ISM matches an adult volunteer (Mentor) with a child (Mentee), in a school enviroment.

-One hour per week, during school hours, while school is in session. It’s not about homework! Christmas, March break and summers off. Fun activities-crafts, sports, games, cooking, reading or just talking.

-This program is a true co-operative effort between the local school board, community and local Big Brother Big Sister agency.
