We now provide mentorship for both young women and men in grades 5-8 at five local schools:
- Boardman Center Intermediate School
- Boardman Glenwood Junior High School
- East Middle School
- Taft Elementary School
- Youngstown Community School
Students connect with positive role models, address social and emotional issues like self esteem and friendship along with topics such as personal hygiene, academic success, workforce development, leadership, and much more. Thank you to our sponsor, Raphael’s School of Beauty Culture.
HOW TO VOLUNTEER
TWO WAYS TO VOLUNTEER:
Weekly: Boardman Center Intermediate School – Women Volunteers
To be a mentor, we ask that you commit yourself to spending a weekly session with your mentee at Boardman Center. During the lunch hour, planned programming will primarily be planned by mentors. United Way staff will host an informational planning session prior to the school year. Students will also have visits from community speakers, and have field trip opportunities. Mentors are not required to attend speaker days or field trips, but are invited to do so.
Bi-Weekly: Boardman Glenwood Junior High School – Men & Women Volunteers
We are excited to be expanding our mentorship program to serve the young men at Boardman Glenwood Junior High! This is a bi-weekly commitment where volunteers will meet twice a month. We are looking for people who want to create an impactful relationships with their students throughout the school year.
