Gwinnett County Public Schools is seeking volunteer mentors for this school year.
The school district’s community-based program has four divisions or “priorities” that provide individual and small-group mentoring:
- African American Boys Priority, directed by James Rayfod
- African American Girls priority, directed by Nicole Tomlinson
- Hispanic boys priority, directed by O.J. Soto
- Hispanic girls priority, directed by Nury Crawford
“Mentors provide our students guidance, encouragement, and support to help them become successful young adults, both in and out school,” the district said in its newsletter, Communiqué.
Those interested can apply online.
The school district trains mentors, matches them with students and provides ongoing support and resources.
Prospective mentors must be 21 or older and must complete an application, attend an online training session and undergo fingerprinting and a background check, according to the school district.
