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!
