What are Your Greatest Needs |
Funding for activities and also for student staff who help coordinate the programs. We also need busy transportation—district provides this but it is expensive for them. We also need excellent trainers for our mentors, particularly for the mentor retreat in the fall. We need assistance with program development for middle school kids in particular. |
