Mentoring/Tutoring at Boca Ciega High School

We have several opportunities at Boca Ciega that can really make a difference in the life of our students:

Mentoring (will resume after winter break ends – January 9):
- Sessions are held Monday through Thursday from 10:15-10:45am or 11:50 – 12:20 (student lunch hours).
- Most mentors come weekly, but some alternate between in-person and virtual (we have a mentoring app)
- Two programs: Lunch Pals and Take Stock in Children (TSIC requires the student to comply with certain criteria (e.g., behavior, attendance, GPA)).
- All Mentors need to:
  - Register on the PCS Volunteer page (or update existing PCS Volunteer account): https://asd.pcsb.org/schoolwiresforms/volunteer/
