staff are paid extra earnings to serve as
mentors to foster youth at each
secondary school. Mentors meet one-
on-one with foster youth monthly to
cultivate positive relationships in order
to increase engagement with the
school. With individualized support,
services and opportunities at school will
be more easily accessible to these
students. The desired outcomes are
increased attendance, improved

In elementary school levels, Mental

youth to provide one-on-one support at
school. These counselors are shared
with funding from Special Education.
The goal is to facilitate a positive school
environment, ensuring students feel
connected to school and are provided
an opportunity to have a person
designated on campus to help support
their social/emotional needs.
