2004–2005 Elementary
Mentor Commitment |
|---|
| As we move from a hands-on science club model to one
of intentional mentoring, more is asked of our volunteer mentors.
They are expected to commit to doing the following: |
| • |
Attend a 2-1/2-hour orientation |
| • |
Mentor the same 1–4 children weekly |
| • |
Interact with teachers and support staff at least monthly |
| • |
Make at least 1 home visit per semester |
| • |
Have lunch at school with children and see teachers at
least 1 time a semester |
| • |
Do at least 1 outing or field trip a semester |
| • |
Call children the night before club to remind them —
and possibly talk with parent/guardian |
| Depending on the site, we will provide homework help,
reading and writing support, basic math skills support, and
hands-on science projects. |
While more is asked of you, we expect that you will
find the deeper relationships and greater impact of your work
more satisfying, as well. |
