School-based volunteers provide reading, writing, and homework help along with friendship to a child in a structured group environment. The children in school-based mentoring need academic help and guidance in the areas of peer relationships, good decision making, social skills, and positive self-esteem. The volunteers act as friends, listeners, and resources.
