Kids enjoy School-Based Mentoring. And parents know what a difference it makes. But some of the biggest supporters of School-Based Mentoring are actually teachers. They see students come back from their one hour a week mentoring sessions with confident smiles, ready to learn and ready to succeed.
Are you a school who is interested in becoming a part of Big Brothers Big Sisters School-Based Mentoring program? Please contact Donna at (717) 843-0051 to ask about getting the SMART program in your school.
What is SMART?
SMART stands for Students and Mentors Achieving Results Together. (We currently offer this program at the following schools in York County.)
The high school or college mentors in the program help their Littles do their homework, read stories, play games, eat snacks, and be a positive role-model and friend. The elementary students and mentors are paired one-on-one to get to know each other and to build a positive relationship.
