Opportunity Details
Mentor at a Local School
In LSS' largest youth mentoring program, In-School Mentoring volunteers spend one hour per week with an elementary or middle school student at the school. Mentors and students spend time doing a variety of activities together, including:
- playing board games
- reading a book
- playing basketball
- eating lunch together
- simply sitting and talking
In-School Mentoring offers a flexible volunteer option. With schools located in nearly every neighborhood, mentors can select a location that is best for them. Matches meet during the school lunch hour. This varies from school to school, but it’s generally a 30 to 45 minute block of time between 11am and 1pm.
School counselors select a young person who can use extra one-to-one attention from a caring adult role model. Counselors are responsible for matching students with the In-School Mentoring Volunteer.
You can volunteer in the following school districts: Sioux Falls, Aberdeen, Baltic, Brandon Valley, Canton, Dell Rapids, Flandreau, Garretson, Harrisburg, Lennox, Tea Area, Tri-Valley, and West Central.
