Mentors are recruited to work with at-risk high school students assigned to a
school’s graduation coach. Mentors are community volunteers recruited and trained
through Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Upstate. Mentors provide an additional
adult role model for these students offering support, friendship, guidance and
leadership. Tutoring may also be provided. Mentors commit to meeting with the
student at least twice a month for the duration of the school year and the following
summer. Activities engaged in by the student and mentor include school-related
activities and those outside of school. Each match is monitored by Big Brothers
Big Sisters.
