Junior League Grant
RSVP’s Mentor Academic Success program has received a Junior League Grant to support the management of RSVP Volunteers focused on improving the academic performance of K-12 students for the 2009-2010 school year.

How can YOU make a difference in a student’s life?
Your commitment as a Mentor Academic Success volunteer is one hour a week, for one academic year, in the school and grade level of your choice. You will be matched with a young person who needs you. You receive a volunteer handbook for basic training along with invitations to in-service trainings. You will work on reading or math, talk about how they are doing, find out about their interests and what ever else you think is important. When a kid sees you showing up for them, it makes a difference. Volunteer Dick Glass says, “I feel really good about mentoring. I see a lot of other kids waiting for mentors and it frustrates me to see so many boys without the opportunity to be matched with a male volunteer.”

How can you be sure your experience as a mentor will be a win-win? You do it by joining the team. A win means you know you have helped put another young person on the path to success rather than failure. Leave your legacy by sharing what you know. All you have to do is show up. To become a mentor or to learn more contact Traci Furman, RSVP Special Projects Coordinator at 269-382-0515.
