GriffinSpalding County School System Student Mentor Volunteer Application

This school year the GriffinSpalding County School System began a student mentoring program that is designed to bring students together with caring adults that will offer guidance support and encouragement in their daily lives. The program is designed to assist in the development of the students character competence and belief in their own potential.
A mentor acts as a listener a role model and a friend. Children who are mentored have better school attendance better attitudes toward school a greater likelihood of completing school and less substance abuse than nonmentored students.
Mentors interact with their mentee on school premises once each week for a meal school program game or conversation. The program requires a oneyear commitment but mentormentee pairings are encouraged to extend beyond the first year. The mentor visiting schedule is flexible during school hours.
All young people have the potential to lead a successful life and to positively contribute to society. However not all children have the support they need to thrive and excel. Become a mentor with GriffinSpalding County schools and dare to be the difference in the life of a child.
