Reach One Teach One Mentoring Program is a character education and academic support program for students in grades 7-12.
Mentoring, at its core, guarantees young people that there is someone who cares about them, assures them they are not alone in dealing with day-to-day challenges, and makes them feel like they matter. Research confirms that quality mentoring relationships positively affect young people in various personal, academic, and professional situations. Mentoring connects a young person to personal growth, development, and social and economic opportunity.
Students will develop social and emotional skills through the core values of:
Integrity (Global Citizen)
Self-Determination (Resilient Individual)
Accountability
Positive Anger Expression (Confident Communicator)
Visionary Goal Setting (Engaged Collaborator)
Reach One Teach One provides both one-on-one mentoring and group mentoring. Group sessions typically will include groups of 5-10 students who meet once a week for 45 minutes during the school day in a designated area at Palatka Jr-Sr High School.
During R1T1 sessions, students engage in a variety of activities geared toward building:
Self-awareness
Social awareness
Identity development
Relationship building with peers
