Mentors are needed to give one hour per week of friendship and companionship, to serve as role models and encourage middle school pupils to improve academic performance, feelings of self-worth, and encourage involvement in school and social activities.
For a mentor application, stop at the office of Recovery Restoration Inc., 552 W. Delason Ave., 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Friday, or call (330) 480-0860.
