Learning How to Make an Impact
SPEF’s Elementary School Mentoring Program is currently running for third through fifth grade classrooms in Stamford Public Schools. Classrooms participate in weekly mentoring sessions in which volunteer high school mentors discuss topics with their mentees related to service-leaning. Each session concludes with a community service project, such as stocking shelves at the food bank, creating and sending holiday cards to soldiers, or cleaning up school playgrounds and parks.
