Big Friends Little Friends Seeking Mentors

Children of the Valley View housing development in South Scranton are provided with college mentors every Monday and Thursday during the school year to help with homework and educational activities. The after school program is overseen by a local teacher from the Scranton School District. The children also receive a nutritious meal provided by the Weinberg Food Bank. Our student mentors leave campus at 2:45 p.m. and return about 4:45 p.m. each session.

The time commitment would be for the entire semester and runs from Sept. 23 until Dec. 5. Interested students can email ellen.judge@scranton in the Center for Service & Social Justice with interest and specify which day of the week they are interested in and if they need transportation. There are 12 available spots for transportation on each day but space is unlimited for those with their own cars.
