You can empower a student and change a life. Faces of Accomplishment mentors must commit to meeting with their student for one hour a week for one school year. All meetings take place at the school during regular school hours. A mentor’s role is to be a positive force in that child’s life and to be someone whom they can trust. This is the chance for a student to excel, make good choices and to be guided by positive adult interaction.
