Peer mentors are high school students ages 16-19 years old who mentor elementary or middle school students during the school year for 1-2 hours per week. The peer mentor will provide the less experienced mentee support, guidance, encouragement, assistance with schoolwork and help building relationships with others.

Peer mentoring provides an opportunity for a caring high school teenager to help develop a guiding, teaching relationship with a younger person (mentee). These activities will be curriculum-based, such as a high school student tutoring an elementary or middle school student in reading or other skill-building activities. The teenage mentors will serve as positive role models that provide a younger student with ongoing support. All peer mentors are supervised my adult mentors.
