Education Elevators, Training and Orientation - August 2014

Description

Generation Charleston is pleased to be teaming up with the Education Elevators program as one of our new community outreach initiatives.   

Education Elevators, a program of Charleston Area Alliance member The Education Alliance, is a mentoring program that matches volunteers (Elevators) from the business community with individual students for mentoring, academic support and friendship.  

Elevators meet with their assigned student one-on-one for approximately 30-45 minutes each week during regular school hours on school grounds.   

The mission of the program is to "elevate" the abilities and aspirations of students.  

Currently, members of GC can elect to mentor a student at Piedmont, Grandview or Chamberlain Elementary.

Through involvement in the Education Elevators program, you can make a difference by supporting, mentoring and inspiring children in our community.   

We encourage GC members to attend the training and orientation to learn more about the program.  (There is no commitment to become an Elevator if you attend the training).  

You must be a member of GC to attend. Food will be provided. RSVP is also required.
