Opportunity Details

Many kids are struggling right now with the Pandemic, remote learning, and all the normal difficulties of youth.

We need your special skills and perspective to show a young person what opportunities they have and give them the confidence to work towards big goals.

An Academic Mentor is a trusted caring adult that spends at least one hour per week with their mentee using Be A Mentor’s Virtual Mentoring Platform.

Mentors focus on goal setting, homework help, and career exploration. While there may be a focus on homework help in the meetings, these sessions are more than just tutoring. Mentees form a personal relationship with their mentor to build resilience, social engagement, and a support network.

Virtual mentoring removes barriers of distance, requires no commute time, and can offer a flexible schedule.

Sign up to become an Academic Mentor and help a youth reach their full potential.

For High School seniors, graduation is an exciting time, but unfortunately it often includes alcohol, drugs and driving while impaired. In Leon County, from April through June each year an average of almost 500 car crashes involve a driver between the ages of 15 and 19.

For this reason, the Project Graduation committee, consisting of parents of students at Lawton Chiles High, have committed to providing graduating seniors with an exciting alternative to the typical post-ceremony celebrations. Our event includes music, games, amazing prizes and an all-night buffet

We need volunteers to help manage the games, prizes, food and keep the kids safe that night!
