Athletics Mentor Program

Layne McLaughlin
Purpose of Mentor Program

High School student athletes that are at-risk for

failing one or more classes and are also enrolled
in a Varsity sport, will be assigned a Junior or
Senior mentor to help with academic material,
advise them on study schedules and habits, and
be there for them for peer support.

Mentors will learn their own learning styles,

build a tool box of studying strategies, build a
tool box of time management strategies, and
build empathy in working with others.

can be a challenging task! You have been chosen or you have volunteered as a

community in a way that helps others and makes you feel fulfilled..oh and you can
put it on your college resume :)
