Hundreds of screened and trained volunteers work weekly with hundreds of RCS students at 17 different sites. These activities afford a smooth transition from elementary to middle school. Other components of mentoring address skills in decision making, positive behavior, accountability, conflict resolution, communication, cooperation and citizenship.
Mentors connect learning to earning.
Our Middle School Mentors are community leaders serving as successful role models demonstrating productive character traits while working with our adolescent students. They generate a lot of enthusiasm which positively influences their elementary buddy. With a non-judgmental attitude, each Study Buddy volunteer seeks to enhance the joy of learning by working personally with one young person. Through this consistent and nurturing time investment, their student friend grows as a lifelong learner. Partners in Education is a national, state and local initiative designed to strengthen American Education through active involvement of business, community groups, colleges, government and concerned citizens.
