Spotlight On Middle School Mentoring SPEF's middle school mentoring program has been nationally recognized for over a decade! Powered by college, community, and corporate volunteers, students meet one-on-one with a mentor, who helps them set and achieve attainable goals. Mentors aid students in improving academic standing, engaging in after-school activities, and more. Students also have access to support services, enrichment opportunities, and family resources through our TutorU and Here-to-Help programs. Currently, we have over 45 students enrolled across 3 schools. |
