COMMUNITIES IN SCHOOLS OF ROME-FLOYD COUNTY: SUPPORT LOCAL YOUTH BY BECOMING A MENTOR, VOLUNTEER, AND/OR DONOR

Communities in Schools of Rome-Floyd County seeks mentors, volunteers, and donations from concerned citizens that seek to have a positive impact on local students.

A special emphasis was placed on the need for mentors throughout January in honor of National Mentoring Month. It is a need that exists throughout each school year, according to Gregory Wooten, CIS Executive Director. Training is offered to those willing to serve.
