Volunteers are screened and trained as mentors, and then matched with students who need additional academic help and support.
Mentors work with students to help improve their academics, love of learning, and self-concept.
They meet at school for one hour a week for 12 weeks. The Nuview Mentor Program is funded by an Academic Volunteer and Mentor Service Program Grant, awarded to the school district by the California Governor s Office. Why mentor Many children do not have a wide variety of caring adults in their lives to provide the support needed for their future success. The mentor benefits as well. Perhaps it was a teacher, a coach, a neighbor, or a friend who believed in you or provided a source of motivation when you needed it.
