Mentoring is Time Well Spent!
The Waterford School District is inviting caring adults to become a mentor and
help transform lives in our community. Mentoring is fun, easy, comfortable,
and rewarding. Just one or two hours a week can make a big impact in the life
of a student. Mentors report experiencing improved health, greater life
satisfaction, and connections to the community. We provide all the training and
support you will need to succeed!
Youth who are mentored are:
46% less likely to begin using illegal drugs
27% less likely to begin using alcohol
52% less likely to skip school
37% less likely to skip a class
Call today to register for our next information session!
