Be a Mentor

Teens with stable, loving adults consistently in their lives are less likely to use illegal drugs, consume alcohol, skip school and classes, or engage in acts of violence. They have greater self-esteem, confidence in their schoolwork performance, and are able to get along better with their friends and families. Developing a relationship with an Eastside Academy student will change not only their life but yours as well.

Time commitment: Approx. 2-4 hours/week
