Make a difference. Change a life!
The Turning Point relies on volunteers to change its students' lives. From one hour a week to whatever time you are able to give, the Turning Point can use your strengths and talents to help its students. The Turning Point is more than just a school. We focus on the growth of the whole person - academically, socially, emotionally, and spiritually.
Become a mentor and impact students' futures.
​
Consider the following questions:
​
-
Is there a skill you could teach? Many students enjoy working with their hands.
-
Do you handle the stresses of life well? Show how to constructively deal with the problems of life.
-
Do you like to hang out and have good, clean fun? Bring a student along with you.
-
Do you enjoy seeing people practice new skills? Give kids chances to apply what they have learned.
​
Here are some examples of what mentors have done in the past. Be creative with what you can do!
​

​
Be a mentor outside the classroom:
