The mission of Communities In Schools is to surround students with a community of support, empowering them to stay in school and achieve in life.

Become A Mentor

We believe that every child needs an advocate and a mentor – someone to encourage them, to serve as a role model, to praise their efforts. Someone to promote the sparkle in their eye and someone to teach them how to shine. For students who do not have that kind of relationship at home, a mentor can provide that support by building a special friendship with a student.

Mentors and their lunch buddies enjoy a celebration to mark the end of the 2010/2011 school year at Southwest Elementary.

If you …

  • Possess an understanding of and a desire to patiently work with children in need
  • Genuinely believe in the ability of all individuals to learn and reach their full potential
  • Practice positive interpersonal communication sills
  • Can commit to being reliable and dependable

… You’ve already got what it takes to help a child realize that anything is possible.
