CARE Mentoring Program

Want to help? Please contact Michelle Kuntz

Attention All Mentors from Spring 2010 --

Follow Up training will be on Sept. 13, 2010 so you can begin working with you students again!!

Got an Hour?

The CARE Mentoring program matches an adult with one of our K-6 students in the district.  

The time together will be during the school day and you will coordinate your visit with the student's teacher.  

Training will be provided for you so that the best relationship with your student can be attained!  Background checks will be provided by the school district.  

All we ask of you is an average of one hour per week with your student. 

It's easy to become a mentor:

1.  Read the Job Description to see if it's right for you:

2.  Fill out the Mentor Application and send it to CARE or drop it off at the High School
