Mentoring Students Changes Outcomes … Drastically.

– 52% less likely to skip school
– 33% less likely to engage in a fight

The Chamber Education Committee is asking you to consider becoming a mentor for a student who needs guidance and a caring adult in his or her life. You can partner with an associate which will allow a child to have the commitment of meeting with either you or your partner each week. Support of mentoring is a primary Chamber goal.
