Mentors
South Kingstown CARES has a vibrant Mentoring Program. Teachers, principals and parents can recommend a student to the program. Students recommended are students that could benefit from a caring adult in their lives. Mentors and mentees meet once a week on school grounds to simply, “be friends”. They play games, shoot hoops, hangout and share their lives. Throughout the year CARES sponsors group parties and other outings off campus to encourage the growing relationships. Helping the students with academics is encouraged over time but not required. To discuss ideas and situations that arise with their students. CARES also occasionally brings in speakers to the meetings to help the mentors with their students. To become a mentor please complete the application.
CARES will contact you to schedule a CARES mentoring orientation. All CARES volunteers must complete a police background check and offer personal references. Please print up and complete the BCI check form to bring with you to the orientation. CARES can complete the notarization at the orientation
