Mentors Needed for Hyannis West Students

Program Details:

The Greater Hyannis Civic Association's Supporting Our Youth Task Force (HySOY, Inc) is currently recruiting adults (aged 21+) to mentor kindergarten students at Hyannis West Elementary School for the 2012-2013 school year. 

Time Commitment:

• We would like mentors that can make at least a one year commitment and would prefer a four year commitment--kindergarten through grade 3. 
• Mentors meet with one student for about 1 hour per week between October and May, either before school, after school or during the lunch period. In addition, mentors receive training for 1 hour, one time per month. This provides an opportunity for people who work a 9-5 schedule to see students before school, those working a 7-3 schedule to see students after school, and those with a more flexible schedule to coordinate either of the three times.

Retirees, young professionals, and people with bilingual language skills are urged to apply. Mentors will develop a caring, one-on-one relationship with a student through playing games, talking, eating lunch or practicing social and age-appropriate skills together. Times to mentor include 8-9am, the lunch hour, and 330-430pm. With some times a little earlier and later depending on the student's before and after care program times.

Please see our agency listing under Cape Cod Volunteers for more information about the Supporting Our Youth Task Force or our website: http://hysoy.blogspot.com. For more information, or to sign up to be a mentor, please email: hysoytaskforce@gmail.com or call  508-258-9111.
