Take Stock in Alachua Co. Children, They Need You!

Its that time of year again, back to school. This past Monday, August 13th Alachua County students returned back to school after summer vacation.

Pictured above of our Broker, Tanya and her mentee, Rachelle. Tanya mentored Rachelle from 10th grade through Graduation and they still keep in touch. They completed the Take Stock in Children program and Rachelle is in her second year at Sante Fe College studying to be a Veterinarian and interning at a local Vet. Take Stock is in desperate need of more mentors.

Jamie Bailey is a mentor and Alumni Coordinator with Take Stock in Children, The Education Foundation of Alachua County. She has informed us that they have accepted 65 new students for their 2018-2019 school year and they are in much need of new mentors.

Take Stock in children is recruiting volunteer mentors for the 2018-2019 school year. Take Stock is a mentoring and scholarship program, where low-income at-risk students get paired with a mentor who meets with the student once per week at their school. If they meet with a mentor, stay drug and crime free and maintain a 2.5 GPA they receive a 2-year college scholarship. Make a difference in the life of a child through a program with a proven success rate over 90%
