The Safe Schools-Healthy Students program is seeking adult volunteers for a mentoring program for students in kindergarten through 12th grade in the Hazelwood School District. The goal of the mentoring program is to provide students a positive relationship with caring individuals who offer guidance, support and encouragement to help develop competence and character.

Adult volunteers will be matched with students to serve as mentors during the school day for at least one hour a week. Mentors will receive training. Interested adults should complete a Safe Schools-Healthy Students mentor program application and undergo a District criminal background check.

The Safe Schools-Healthy Students Initiative, a program grant awarded to HSD in 2008 by the U.S. Department of Education, supports the District’s efforts to create safe learning environments that promote healthy childhood development, as well as preventing youth violence and drug use.
