While school counselors, teachers, and family members all play a role in keeping students in school and learning, the involvement of a community mentor can make a meaningful connection. |
Studies show that successful mentoring programs help at-risk students develop social skills, improve their school achievement and graduation rates, and help them develop self-esteem, among many benefits.
GCPS has proactively developed a Community-Based Mentoring program to connect caring adults in the community with middle school boys whose poor attendance and behavior are having an adverse impact on their grades and classroom performance.
