A cornerstone of our community outreach is a commitment to provide children and youth with dedicated mentors who are there for them every step of the way.
Trained ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥â€™s Aid life coaches, social workers, college advisors, and everyday staff all guide youth to make healthy, positive choices geared toward long-term success. We also offer targeted programs that go the extra mile to surround children facing greater challenges with mentors who will make a positive and lasting difference in their lives.
Success Mentors
The Success Mentors model is a powerful strategy used in community schools to pair authority figures with students—especially those who struggle with regular attendance—to create accountability relationships.
Anyone in the school environment can be a Success Mentor—security guards, custodians, coaches, teachers, administrative professionals, and of course ľ¹ÏÖ±²¥â€™s Aid staff. Each adult becomes invested in the success of students. Mentors work with attendance teams to create a welcoming school environment for children and combat the effects of chronic absenteeism, because improved attendance will lead to academic achievement.
