Become a Mentor Print

Local Dixon professionals from KSB Hospital, Raynor and IDOT along with community volunteers are helping Dixon elementary school students improve their reading skills while building confidence and developing relationships. The mentoring program pairs together adults with elementary students who spend time reading 20 minutes a week during their recess. The school district works with the mentors' employers, making accommodations that allow the mentor to leave work and visit the school.

"Many mentors establish relationships with the students and request to work with them until the student enters middle school. This is a rewarding program for not only the student but also the mentor," says Jackie Turffs, Mentor Coordinator.

If you are interested in becoming a mentor, contact Jackie Turffs at the Central

Dixon Public Schools, in cooperation with the community, will provide students with a comprehensive educational program that produces well-educated, self-sufficient, and involved citizens.
