MENTORING

Mentoring can make a big difference in
a child’s life. By dedicating as little as 30
minutes a week with a student, you can
improve self-esteem and encourage kids
to stay in school, improve academic skills,
and provide support for new behaviors,
attitudes and ambitions. Mentoring
opportunities are available at every GISD
school. For additional information call:

George Wagner, Sun City resident – 512-
864-0641 or [email protected]

Laura Antoine, Mentor Director – 512-
943-5175 or [email protected]

If your organization has volunteer
or charitable opportunities, contact
Nancy Snow at the email above.
