Mentors are community members and 11th grade students who will commit to 2 years of bi-monthly meetings with 8th graders that are struggling with attendance, behavior, and academics. "Mentors meet once a month for additional training on interventions and data collection to track progress" and hope to have a positive impact on these struggling kids.
