Mentoring a child is one of the most neighborly things St. David’s does. Every Wednesday during the school year, from 2:30-5:00 p.m., our Path to Shine mentors meet with kids from our next door neighbor, Mimosa Elementary. Together, we eat and play and read and learn.
Each child is matched one-on-one with the same mentor, so a real bond forms and real progress gets made. Many of our kids have been with us for years and each of them is precious to us. We’re always seeking new full-time mentors, substitute mentors, and snack providers.
We’ve made a commitment to 18 children this year, but we’re losing 3 full time mentors in January. That means we need at least 3 caring souls to step up for a child. The only requirements are a loving heart and availability on Wednesdays from 2:30-5:00 through May. This gift of yourself is the best Christmas present these kids will get.
If you want a meaningful and fun experience, please contact Patty Ormsby.
