While fourth graders and mentors discuss leadership and set goals to grow, they also build transformative relationships that increase the student’s sense of self-worth, enhance their outlook on life, and encourage academic performance.

This school year, Academy 4 will be serving 36 schools across DFW and is looking for 3,000+ volunteer mentors to help fourth graders become leaders. This opportunity offers Fort Worthians an easy way to get involved in your community and make a positive impact on the life of a child.

Here’s how it works: Each mentor is paired with a fourth grader for the entire year. All it takes is 90 minutes of your time, one Friday a month during the school year. Make a difference and mentor.
