Have you ever imagined being an inspirational person in a child�s life?

Consider becoming a mentor!  A mentor is a caring person who serves as an 
advisor, role model, and a trusted friend to a student.  The A.I.M.S. 
(Adults Involved with Mentoring Students) is a school/community partnership 
mentoring program that is currently in nine schools within the Lake Park 
High School feeder system.  A mentor is willing to give support to a student 
by helping him or her in the development of social skills and goal setting 
and by being a friend who is a good listener.  Students need the positive 
influence and interaction a caring adult can provide to become healthy, 
happy, and confident young citizens.

Is there training for adults who would like to become a mentor?

Before becoming a mentor, there is a two hour training session that will 
provide information about the purpose of mentoring, confidentiality, 
activities, first day suggestions, etc.
