Our In-School Mentoring Program is currently being offered to students at Southern Middle School and Southern Primary in Aberdeen, North Carolina. We have also expanded to Crain's Creek Middle School and West Pine Middle. This program is funded through United Way of Moore County and donors from the Moore County community. Our mentoring coordinator pairs each student with a community volunteer to meet one-on-one for one hour a week. The volunteers go through orientation, training, and an extensive background check. This program has had a great impact on the individual students and the school as a whole.
Students who are involved in the school mentoring program:
explore careers
get academic assistance
complete community service projects
