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 inside the classroom: 

  • Meet with a student regularly 

  • Lead a Family Time

  • Provide bottled water and healthy snacks

​

Be a mentor outside the classroom: 

  • Use garden produce to teach a cooking skill

  • Do yard work together with a student

  • Take a walk together
