JANUARY IS NATIONAL MENTORING MONTH

January is National Mentoring Month, which is being celebrated locally by Communities in Schools of Rome and Floyd County.

Gregory Wooten, CIS Executive Director, states that mentoring has a positive impact on students’ lives in the form of better grades, better class attendance, and better behavior.

CIS’ mentoring program is suspended at this time due to COVID-19, though Wooten states that his organization remains in search of new mentors to be on the ready when restrictions are lifted. Individuals who have a special interest in impacting a child’s life for the better are needed.
