Description

SchoolConnect matches elementary school students in Kindergarted through 5th grade with a mentor from area high schools and colleges. Matches meet once a week for 30 minutes at the elementary schools during the academic year. Matches are encouraged to be creative together and do activities that they both enjoy with an emphasis on enhancing communication and social skills. MentoringWorks provides games, craft supplies, books and STEM activities for matches at each elementary school.

CareerConnect focuses on developing career interest within sophomores, juniors and seniors in high school and also building an employment pipeline within the community. Participants shadow a mentor in the career field of their choosing to establish new contacts, employment skills and potential employment. All services provided at no cost.
