Looking for a way to give back this holiday season? Donate your time to Academy 4, a mentoring program that helps fourth graders in economically disadvantaged schools.

Sessions take place for 90 minutes, one Friday a month. It’s an easy way to connect, engage, and make a difference in your community. As a mentor, you provide your fourth grade-mentee with one-on-one undivided attention, making them feel special, seen, and heard. It’s not too late to get involved.

Sign up to mentor.
