Outreach Mentors

Family Service Agency’s Outreach Mentor Program offers school-based support to youth and parents on all campuses in the Santa Maria-Bonita School District. Mentors provide students with tools for success.

Outreach Mentors facilitate school-wide events such as Red Ribbon Week, spirit days, recess activities, and student leadership groups.

• Provides students with support and education, to promote academic success.  
• Encourage positive social interactions with the school community and their family.  
• Links students and parents to needed community resources.
•  Organizes educational campaigns and classroom presentations to help students with decision-making and conflict resolution

The mentoring relationship between Outreach Mentors and students is built on trust, understanding, and care. Youth learn to create lasting bonds, increase self-confidence, and improve school engagement.
