Check & Connect pairs each student and their family with a mentor called a “Connector.” The Connector:

• Meets with the student each week during school
• Tracks the students attendance, behavior, course performance, and social/emotional skills
• Collaborates with the student’s teacher, parent, school counselor, and other supportive adults
• Communicates with the parent each week

What we are looking for in a Connector: 

• Connectors are compassionate, persistent, committed, and willing to help.
• Connectors believe that students, particularly those living in at-risk circumstances, have abilities and strengths and can learn. 

Expectations of a Connector:

• Approximately 2 hours per week
• Mentoring/tutoring sessions
• One hour per week spent with student's family
