Jacksonville has the second-largest such program in the state. But, even here, there is a need for improvement. There are 425 local scholars and only 325 mentors. To fill that gap, an effort will be made to recruit 100 more mentors during a special luncheon today at the Morocco Auditorium. For those who have an hour a week to spare, this would be an excellent investment in the community.
Society always benefits from an educated, law-abiding and responsible citizenry.
