Mentoring Program at Avery Point
Due to a generous grant from the Community Foundation of Eastern Connecticut (CFECT) a mentoring partnership between UConn Avery Point and West Side Middle School has been established. UConn Avery Point students mentor middle school students from West Side Middle School in Groton, CT for a year by meeting once a week with their middle school matches. The grant from the CFECT pays for books that the mentors use with their middle School matches and a celebration at the end of the school year for all participants. During the school year 2013-2014, twenty-five UConn Avery Point students mentored West Side Middle School students. To learn more about becoming a Mentor, please contact the Avery Point SSS Coordinator, Aaron Collins: aaron.collins@uconn.edu.
