connect Mentoring:
What is a Mentor?
A mentor is a wise and trusted guide and adviser. A mentor is a friend, a coach, an advocate, a positive role model, a resource and a supporter. A mentor is NOT a substitute parent, a babysitter, a social worker, an ATM or a miracle worker.
These special volunteers work through the Ohio County Schools to offer support and encouragement, assist with schoolwork to help their mentee (student) thrive, and provide guidance so they can avoid problems like substance abuse and violence.

- Meet weekly with their students at their school (one hour, once a week)
