We Need Mentors!

Whitlow Elementary needs MENTORS!
Click here to learn more.

A mentor is a volunteer that helps provide a WES student with a special, supportive relationship that will hopefully become a foundation for success in that child's life.

Mentors typically commit 30 minutes per week during school hours to meet with a student and help promote a student's self-worth, motivation, coping skills and strength of character.

Mentoring is a special way that you can help children and give back to your community. You can make a difference!

Contact our Whitlow Elementary liaison, Tim Aligheri, with any questions.
