With the Economy in its current condition and local schools struggling to provide students with the best education possible, the use of mentoring programs in elementary and Middle schools proves as effective way of helping to offset some of the challenges teachers face in the classroom.

It is often very difficult to receive one-on-one help from their teachers due to class size.  One program geared toward assisting children (and teachers) with extra help is often often offered by the Big Brothers Big Sisters of El DOrado County.  Their School Mentoring Program, which extends to the 50 Corridor and El Dorado Hills Area assists 10 local elementary and middle schools.  The children are matched one-to-one with a Community volunteer called a “school mentor” who meets with the student at their school during the students lunch hour, one day a week.  The mentor program is a evidence-based program that helps students feel more connected to their school and and helps them to be more successful in school, both socially and academically.  For more information on this program, contact Big Brothers and Sisters of El Dorado County and El Dorado Hills  HTTP://www.mentors4youth.org
