Partners in Education Mentoring Program

Elkhorn Public Schools is proud to sponsor the Partners in Education Mentoring Program through a cooperative effort of educators and volunteers from the community. It is designed with an academic focus to provide on-going support for student success. An adult mentor volunteers for one school year and meets with his or her mentee on school grounds. Most building programs involve weekly meetings of 30 to 60 minutes.

The program has a slightly different format at each level. At the elementary level, the program takes place before school. Adult mentors are paired with elementary students who are primarily having difficulties with reading and language arts. The middle school program is more individualized and takes place after school one day each week. High school students who request a mentor will be matched to work with their mentors during non-instructional time. Meetings could take place during study halls, before school, or after school. Like the middle school format, the needs of the high school mentees are addressed on an individualized basis.

Elkhorn Public School's Partners in Education Mentoring Program is seeking adult volunteers from our community to mentor students in grades K-12. Mentors are asked to volunteer for at least one hour each week for the entire school year, and may indicate preferred grade levels and times. Orientation will be provided and each building has a facilitator available to answer questions. For more information contact Janna Brock at (402)289-2579 or jbrock@epsne.org.

You can be the difference in a student’s life!
