Student Peer Mentors
Student Peer Mentors will be matched with a younger student who needs support and will be provided training on how to be a Student Mentor. Student Peer Mentors could be matched with a mentee at Justice or another FCPS school in the local area. Student Peer Mentors are eligible for Service Learning credit for mentoring hours. Student mentors and mentees will be carefully selected by school staff. Student Mentors should be:
- Students who can positively contribute to the school community through their actions and their words when they are meeting with their mentee
- Students who can be a positive role model for another student
- Students who can faithfully and consistently show up for meetings with their mentee (they are looking forward to meeting with you and it's difficult if you cancel or arrive late often)
If you're interested in one or both, please complete the Interest Form - Deadline Friday, October 4!
