Questions remain about how exactly local public school are going to re-open, but instruction will be delivered, and you can make a difference in the life of a student in our local schools by becoming a FISH Mentor.

JABA’s Friends in School Helping (FISH) Program trains adult volunteers to mentor students, helping boost their confidence and success. Mentors commit to at least one hour per week for the school year.

Volunteers will be trained and mentor students using the Zoom online platform. So you can do this without leaving your home! Don't worry, you'll have training and support in using the Zoom platform, and support from JABA, parents, and teachers throughout the school year.

Questions? Contact JABA's Volunteer Services Coordinator, Winter Broadhurst, at at wbroadhurst@jabacares.org or learn more about the FISH program and submit a volunteer application by visiting www.jabacares.org/fish
