Mentoring
Salem Community Schools - on hiatus until further guidance from the school
SEEKING volunteers willing to participate and create one-on-one meaningful, reliable relationships with Middle School students in our community schools.

Mentoring is one of the most attainable productive ways to make a difference in the lives of youth in the community. Please consider donating 1 hour/week during lunch schedule ranging from 10:45 am and 1 pm.
