  1. Aim High Mentoring Sheffield City Schools Funded by The Alabama State Dept of Child Abuse and Neglect Prevention

  2. Overview • The Mentoring Program targets and serves our “at risk” students. • These students may be at risk of experiencing academic failure, poor parent/child relationship, economic deprivation, poor social skills, delinquency, culturally disadvantaged, peer relationship problems, low self concept, trouble controlling temper, depression, or a lack of support and attention from a stable adult. Or they may just need a little extra help with their schoolwork.

  3. Who is Involved? • “Mentees” are those students being mentored. Any student in the SCS system who has been identified as “at risk”. • “Mentors” are our volunteers who agree to help the “at risk” students. They can be high school students who are well-rounded academic achievers, or a responsible adult from the community.

  4. Benefits • Students (Mentees): get better grades, improve attitude and self esteem, gain a friend. • High School Mentors: Improve self esteem, develop leadership characteristics, build college resumes, become accountable.

  5. When? Where? • The Mentor goes to the child’s school, one day a week for about 30 to 45 minutes to help the mentee with homework/schoolwork, play learning games or just be a buddy.
