SchoolConnect
SchoolConnect matches elementary school students with a mentor from area high schools and colleges. Mentees and Mentors meet once a week for 30-45 minutes during the school year. Matches are encouraged to be creative together and do activities that they both enjoy. MentoringWorks provides board games and craft supplies for matches at each elementary school.
CareerConnect
CareerConnect matches high school students with local business professionals based on the students’ career interests. Depending on the grade level of the student they spend 1 hour once a week, or 4 hours once a month with their mentor. The students get real-life hands on experience in their desired career field helping them make tough decisions during the transition from high school to the workforce.
“SchoolConnect works. I see proof everyday in the radiant smiles of children whose lives have been touched by the friendship of a mentor.”
—Longfellow Elementary School Counselor
“SchoolConnect allows our 11th and 12th grade students to volunteer at our elementary campus. They play a game together, shoot hoops, or work on crafts. These small gestures end up making a big impact at our elementary campus, and in the lives of our high school students. We are grateful to be a part of the SchoolConnect program.”
-St. Cecilia High School Secretary
