You Can Make A Difference
Mentor A HIgh School Student !
What does an Oakland Serves Mentor do?
1:1 Mentors
Volunteer to go into class once a week or work after school with a matched high school student who is struggling academically. The mentor helps the student overcome the barriers to their academic success and put them on the path to graduation. Help with school work, with organization, or even with improving attendance to make a difference in the life of the student.
Classroom mentors
These mentors are not matched with an individual student but they work with one or more students as needed in a group learning setting. Can be a great way to start if you are unfamiliar with the student dynamics, then move on to 1:1 mentoring!
