Gwinnett County Public Schools Community-Based Mentoring Program
Mentoring Local Students Grades 4-12
Gwinnett County Public Schools has proactively developed a Community Based Mentoring program to connect caring adults in the community with students in grades 4 through 12 to provide guidance, encouragement, and support to help them become successful young adults both in and out of school. While school counselors, teachers, and family members all play a role in keeping students in school and learning, the involvement of a community mentor can make a meaningful connection.
