Volunteer Mentor Way to Help Title Way to Help Content Visual Text Students need mentors now more than ever. School closures and stay-at-home orders have had a tremendous impact on our teens, not only affecting their education, but their social and emotional development too. When school resumes this fall, students will encounter a vastly different and, in some ways, even more challenging academic experience. They need the support and guidance of dedicated and caring virtual mentors who can help them navigate their new normal and work towards a bright future. Virtual mentoring is safe, fun, and impactful. Winning Futures, a Crain's Best-Managed Non-Profit, operates school-based Workforce Prep programs in Southeast Michigan. We partner with Cass Technical High School (Detroit), Community High School (Sterling Heights), Harper Woods High School, Madison High School, Mumford High School (Detroit), Pontiac Academy for Excellence, and Warren Mott High School. Help us empower local high school students for success by virtually mentoring this fall. Each virtual mentoring session is 30-45 minutes long. Mentors will participate remotely through a webinar service. The frequency and number of sessions will be determined on a school-by-school basis, however, we anticipate one small group virtual mentoring session every week or every other week, for 10-20 weeks, October through May. We are actively seeking virtual mentors for the 2020-21 school year.
