Math Mentors Program

About the program

Human connection has a greater impact on math achievement more than any other type of intervention. The Math Mentors Program empowers students to overcome barriers by connecting them with mentors. Math Mentors work one-on-one in small groups and offer encouragement, connection, and compassion. Currently this program is available for grades fourth through eighth.

For Current Math Mentors

Mentors have the chance to learn about the education system and about math intervention through first-hand experience with students. In the process, they develop excellent management, organization, and volunteer supervision skills as they work hand in hand with professional educators to manage a meaningful and effective tutoring program in a school.

Math Mentors will undergo training with the STEM Action Center before and during their service.
