WAWONA MENTOR PROGRAM WHEN During Lunch WHERE Wawona Middle School 4524 N. Thorne, Fresno, CA 93704 Wawona Mentor Program is a site-based program held during student lunchtime. Mentors meet their individual student once per week for about 45 minutes on campus. The mentor must be reliable and able to commit to the entire academic year. Mentor time can be spent playing games, walking the campus, reading, or simply talking while eating lunch together. Are you interested in mentoring? Research shows that the single most important factor in keeping students in school is the feeling of connectedness with a caring adult. This can then have a positive impact on attendance, academic achievement, and behavior. As a result, the focus of our program is to create and foster this connection.
