Volunteer Today!
Now Recruiting Mentors/TutorsMentoring/Tutoring- For many students today, learning requires more than the traditional classroom can provide. Students, who for a number of reasons, have fallen behind their peers and may be at-risk of dropping out, need more individual attention. Victoria Independent School District (VISD) has implemented the Mentoring/Tutoring Program.The VBEC (Business and Education Together) Team is currently recruiting volunteers to assist needy students with either reading or math. Special mentoring labs have been established at five local campuses, and expert teachers have been employed to assure the success of the students. Area businesses are encouraged to participate by allowing their employees one half hour of leave time per week to volunteer. Mentoring is defined as a structured relationship between a youth and an adult in which the adult offers support, guidance, tutoring, and encouragement for the young person to move forward in fulfilling his/her potential. To date, VISD volunteers have donated over 7,000 thirty minute sessions to assist local students. One hundred percent of the third grade students who were in the mentoring/tutoring program passed the state required standarized test! Eighty-four percent of the students who were enrolled in the program at Memorial High School Stroman Campus passed the math portion of the standardized test.
