Mentors Needed for Struggling Students
East High School’s A+ Angels Mentoring Program (www.aplusangels.org) is looking for mentors to help their student succeed in high school by building a relationship, working on organization and study skills, helping with homework, modeling advocacy, and providing encouragement and accountability. All mentors are volunteers and most work full time in jobs unrelated to education. Mentors are expected to attend a training program in late August 2016 and meet with their students once per week during an early morning study hall (convenient for those who work). Contact Aimee_Arens@dpsk12.org for more information and to apply.
