PTA STARS Mentor Program

Impact the Future - One Child at a Time!

CVMS and RRISD participate in the Partners in Education STARS (Supporting, Teaching, and Reaching Students) Mentor Program, a school-based program designed to provide regular additional attention to students in need, through a one-on-one relationship with a community volunteer.

Mentors are caring adult men and women who are willing to be a positive role model to a student. Mentors come from all walks of life, from parents and grandparents to business professionals and members of civic organizations.

Students who are paired with mentors represent a wide range of ages, interests, and needs. Teachers, counselors, and parents often recommend students for the program. Many students request a mentor. Parent and student permissions are obtained before a student is matched with a mentor.

Mentors and their student mentees meet on a regular basis, typically over the student’s lunch period/study hall, and talk, play cards, go for walks, have lunch, etc. while building their relationship. Periodically, special activities may be planned, such as “Game Days,” for group mentor/mentee participation. We aim to provide regular, positive communication with the mentee in a relaxed environment at school.
