School-Based Mentoring involves volunteers ("Bigs)") offering children ("Littles") individualized time and attention on a weekly basis, with the venue being the child's school rather than the community. School Districts that you can volunteer at include: Abbotsford, Athens, D.C. Everest, Marathon, Merrill, Mosinee, and Wausau. Volunteers and children meet weekly during the school year - utilizing the resources available within the school: the library, cafeteria, gym, a classroom, or the schoolyard.
Whether they play board games or read the newspaper together, their relationship promotes a positive school experience for the child: good attendance, positive peer and adult relationships, a positive attitude, and academic enrichment. As the friendship evolves, volunteers and children discover ways to make school and learning fun. When matches continue from one school year to the next, volunteers experience the satisfaction of watching their Littles achieve success in school.
During the summer break, matches may exchange letters or attend an agency-sponsored event.
