Learn how to make your mentoring and tutoring more interactive and productive.
Students today deal with social pressures, including bullying and stereotyping,
that can affect their ability to concentrate on school work.
The need for "Lunch Buddy" mentors, "Tutors" and "Classroom Assistants" can't meet the demand.

COMMENT: I was a "Lunch Buddy" mentor for three Horace Mann kids over seven years. It's impossible to articulate all the benefits since much of the gain comes from the heart. Link mentoring should extend into the Junior High since 7th grade is one of the most difficult transitions. School office managers and secretaries used to run the program until Links took it over three years ago. The secretaries probably know your buddy better than any and can be a huge resource. It's important to understand how they fit into the Links program. - Bob Yoder
