Program Descripton
In School Systems throughout the United States today, the services of trained, dedicated volunteers have become an accepted and valued assistance to professional educators.
The goal of the School Volunteer Program is to involve parents and community partners in the educational process. Mentoring is a part of the Bay District Schools Volunteer Program. A mentor is an individual who seeks to further the development of character and competence in a young person. He or she is committed to expending the time and energy necessary to help the student succeed in school. The role of the volunteer is multi-faceted. A mentor is a big brother/sister, role model, and most of all a friend to the student.
The time, effort, ingenuity, and concern that volunteers bring strengthen not only our educational system, but our society as a whole.
