The Wakulla County Mentor Program is aimed at enhancing the educational opportunities of today's student.  The program identifies interested students and matches them one-on-one with volunteer mentors from the community.
Mentors serve as a positive role model by meeting weekly with their student to provide support and guidance.

The Wakulla Mentor Program is designed to:

• Reduce the dropout rate
• Increase independence
• Enhance the student's self-esteem
• Increase understanding of the work ethic and awareness of career options
• Foster law-abiding citizenship
• Increase opportunities for graduates to attend institutions of higher education
• Bring the community and the schools together

We Need:

• Caring individuals willing to give personal attention
• Role models to help students set and achieve goals
• Successful educators, business persons, and public sector staff to explain the link  between education and the world of work
