Mentor
Requires specific training and Level II Clearance. One of the highest needs in the volunteer program is for mentors. Mentors work with a specific student in an ongoing one-on-one capacity. They provide support, encouragement, a listening ear, a positive role model and accountability. Mentoring occurs outside of the school day, although there may be times when a mentor eats lunch or attends a field trip with a student. While some tutoring may occur, tutoring is not the goal or purpose of mentoring. If you want to be a mentor, fill out the volunteer form above or contact Vicki Benton at 850-926-0065.
Athletic Coach
Requires recommendation by principal and Level II Clearance.
This volunteer works directly with a team in a coaching capacity.
