A Little Time Goes a Long Way
Did you know it only takes one hour a week to be a mentor? That's just one lunch break or perhaps a break between classes. It's also one hour where you'll be sharing more than just your time you'll be sharing tools that will stay with a child for a lifetime.

While meeting one-on-one or with groups of kids, you can share a special skill or talent. You can provide homework assistance or perhaps pack a lunch for two and share it with a student who needs a boost. Whatever your background or interest, the Anaheim Achieves After-School Program is the perfect place to start your mentoring experience. Both daytime and after-school hours are available to fit your schedule.

As a mentor, you'll be helping young students soar to new heights-and blossom with creativity, character and confidence.

Anyone with a caring heart and time for a child can be a mentor. Hundreds of volunteers, from every walk of life, currently participate in the Anaheim Achieves Mentor Program. Volunteers include: High School Students, College Students, Senior Citizens, Corporate Employees, Community Members, Church Members and Parents.
