School/Site-Based Mentoring

This program provides college/ high school students (mentors) an opportunity to mentor elementary/middle school children (mentees) on the school (or site) premises. Both mentors and mentees grow academically and socially in a group mentoring situation. A Torchlight coordinator supervises and facilitates mentor/mentee interactions during the weekly two-hour sessions. Torchlight currently has programs in schools throughout Lake, Geauga and Ashtabula counties.
