Mentoring Program

Helping students grow — academically and personally

At Communities In Schools of Randolph County (CISRC), we believe that one caring adult can change a student’s life. Our mentoring program connects community volunteers with students who need extra encouragement — whether they’re working on attendance, behavior, or simply need someone to talk to.

Mentors meet with their student once a week for 30–45 minutes, usually during lunch or after school. Sessions might include conversation, tutoring, goal-setting, or just spending time together. Every meeting helps build trust, confidence, and motivation.

All mentors complete a background check and brief training before being matched. CIS staff at each school manages the matching process based on referrals from teachers, counselors, or parents. No special qualifications are required — just a willingness to show up and care.

Mentoring Options

• One-on-One Mentoring: Individual support and encouragement each week.

• Group Mentoring: Team-building, leadership, and learning activities.

• Peer Mentoring: High school students mentoring younger peers through reading, games, and positive role modeling.
