Volunteer Mentors needed!

"Imagine an Hour that Impacts a Lifetime, Imagine Mentoring."

As a mentor you create a valuable relationship with an incoming freshman to Bowie High School that serves the student by providing a positive role model that supports, encourages, helps achieve goals and supports school success. You will be surprised to find that your contribution of time and caring significantly impacts your life as well as the life of the teen. We welcome you as a Mentor if you are willing to: • Make a commitment to meet weekly with a teen for the academic year • Participate in mentor trainings • Agree to security screen and fingerprinting For information & to apply email Rhonda Simon, Volunteer Coordinator at mentor@cityofbowie.org, or call (301) 809-3033.

Mentoring Makes A Difference! Surveyed student, male, age 16, “I really thought the program would suck. So, I was glad to find it was nothing like I expected. My mentor and I were paired well. I did have to get up early but the program helped with my attendance, my grades, my goals and my relationships. I plan to re-enroll next year.”
