Become a Youth Mentor!
The Kittery School District is looking for community member mentors at all three of our schools, K-12. Mentors are matched with a pre-identified student who could especially benefit from a positive connection during the school day. Mentors meet one-on-one with their student for about an hour each week during the school day and on school grounds- playing games, making crafts, shooting hoops, chatting, whatever the pair decides is their thing. Please consider giving the gift of your time and company and/or sharing this opportunity with others in our community who you think would be great. The benefit of mentoring youth is not a one-way street!
If you have any questions please reach out to our Mentor Program Coordinator, Kari Economou, at keconomou@kitteryschools.com. And here is our Mentor Program Application if you're ready to apply!
