Mentoring Program

Hancock County Middle School and Hancock County Partners are working together to provide positive role models for at-risk youth.  Mentors are trained and will meet one hour per week with an assigned student during the school day at Hancock County Middle School.

Mentors and students may read together, play games, work on homework, listen to one another, and talk about common interests.  The mentor and the student can decide what they would like to do during the allotted time.  For more information about becoming a mentor, contact Diane Hatchett, (270)927-6712 or Jill Barger or Holly Simpson, (270)927-8066.
