The Stanislaus County Employee Volunteer Mentor Program has been serving the community for over 24 years, addressing the county's high dropout rate and providing support to elementary education. With a focus on combating barriers such as low self-esteem and lack of role models, the program offers one-hour weekly mentoring sessions at local schools, where volunteers read with students, assist with homework, and help improve reading comprehension.
Starting in the 2023-2024 school year, the program is partnering with Sierra Vista Child Family Services to enhance the mentorship experience. Sessions will be extended to a comprehensive one-hour format, and retirees of Stanislaus County are now invited to join, bringing their wealth of experience to positively impact the development of the community's youth.
