Lake Washington School District has a great program for hooking up students with community volunteers, business men and women, retired workers, and parents. It's call "Looking Into the Needs of Kids and Schools (LINKS). The District holds 10 orientation classes from September 11 to November 1 at 10AM or 6PM.

What is Mentoring?
Mentoring is a structured and trusting relationship that brings students together with caring adults. Mentors come during school hours and provide academic support, as well as engage in developing a relationship of emotional support for the student. Studies have shown that children with mentors are more likely to succeed. Mentors may provide academic tutoring in addition to fun and educational activities during their time with the student. Some mentors are Lunch Buddies, spending their time with a student during the lunch hour.
LINKS mentors are carefully matched with students based on the needs of the student, and the interests of the mentor. Sign up here!
What is a Classroom Helper?
Classroom volunteers work primarily in one classroom, helping a variety of students each week. Opportunities are available in all grade levels and subject areas with a focus on reading, math and writing. Volunteers work closely with school staff to determine how their personal strengths can best be utilized in the classroom to benefit students. Sign up here!
