Power of an Hour: GPS New Mentor Training Set

The Groton Public Schools Mentoring Program is looking for people who would be interested in volunteering as a mentor and making a difference in a child's life. 

Mentors spend one hour a week with a student, at school during school hours, developing a trusting friendship. Mentors are role models, encouragers, and listeners for the students. 

The next training for new mentors is Wednesday, Jan. 29 at 5:30 p.m. at Claude Chester Elementary School. Dinner is included. Snow date is Thursday, Feb. 6.

If you or someone you know is interested in having a positive influence on a student, and to begin the application process, RSVP to our Mentoring Program Steering Committee Chairman Sharon A. Schick at 860-448-9360 or via email at schicksa@sbcglobal.net.
