Boys & Girls Clubs of Greater St. Louis Mentoring

Mentor St. Louis (MSL), a school based program, which empowers local elementary school students and Club members to succeed in school through structured, positive mentoring relationships with caring adult volunteers. Every year, youth in the first through six grade are encouraged to develop a love of learning and ultimately reach their highest potential through literacy-based programming and supportive one-on-one and group mentoring. Mentors reinforce the value of education and life skills with regular visits which adds another dimension to a youth’s school experience.

MSL’s program is unique because every mentoring session is thematically connected and thoughtfully linked to the mentee’s school work and the common core standards for their grade level. We also have the goal to emphasize community responsibility, future career goals, diversity and being creative and innovative.
