Special Event Volunteer Application Campus Based Volunteer Application Internship Returning Volunteers Training | Resources Mentoring through Communities in Schools
We need responsible, consistent adult role models to serve as mentors for students in elementary, middle and high schools. Often students are surrounded by negative influences, such as drug abuse, poverty, and gang involvement. Mentors can provide students with the positive influence and hope. Mentors balance having fun, goal achievement, and emotional exploration to support and empower students. Campus-based Mentoring CIS needs mentors in elementary, middle and high schools across Austin, Hays County (Buda and Kyle), Georgetown, Bastrop and Lockhart school districts. CIS campus-based mentors commit at least one hour a week - Monday through Friday, during the school day - for the duration of the school year. Some of our mentors do stay on with a child for more than one year, sometimes all the way until high school graduation! Mentors are also required to undergo a criminal background check, interview with the Volunteer Coordinator, and attend two volunteer trainings.
