Back-to-School = Back to Mentoring!

Across Hancock County, hundreds of students in grades 3–7 are starting a new school year — and many are counting down to see their mentor each week.

We’re looking for caring volunteers — high school students and older — to join one of our 10 school-based mentoring programs.

Executive Director Stacy Shaw and Kellie Bibler were on with WFIN’s Chris Oaks to discuss the school-based mentoring programs.

Our school-based programs, mentors help kids:

-Build positive friendships

-Explore STEAM activities

-Learn about our community and the world through guests and projects

-Grow leadership skills with Leader in Me concepts

From after-school games to lunchtime chats, you can make a difference in just one hour a week.

Stay tuned — over the next few days we’ll share how YOU can join a program at a school near you!
