Looking for Mentors for Middle Schoolers
Dates, Times, & Location Varies Based on the School Chosen
The AIM (Academic Intervention for Middlers) High Dropout Prevention Program is looking for business people to help guide a population of at-risk students in grades 6, 7, & 8 reach their goals and lead productive lives. The strategic goals for the program are to increase student understanding of the importance of completing high school with a Maryland diploma and decrease the dropout rate. A school counselor teaches the curriculum and the business volunteers will help with worksheets and when possible shares experiences related to the topic of the day. The mentor does not have to be at every session because we try to recruit 3 or 4 per grade almost ensuring that a business rep will be present at every session.
Mentors are asked to join the 6th grade program group and if possible continue with that group through 7th and 8th grade. Mentors are needed at each Middle School in the Cecil County Public School System.
The program is designed to have a business representative participate in a minimum of 3 of the 8 sessions. Ideally, there will be 3 to 5 mentors for each grade level to insure that there will be a business representative participating every week. The maximum commitment is participation in each of the 8 sessions to help foster a meaningful and supportive relationship with the group members. For more information please contact Kathy Kunda at kkunda@ccps.org.
