Beyond School Walls

Beyond School Walls Mentoring kick off with BBBS of the Triangle, Captrust, & Carroll Magnet Middle School in Raleigh, where I have served for 5 years as School Counselor, the last two as Career Counselor. We began a partnership with Captrust and Big Brothers Big Sisters planning this program last year in late May, and after many meetings, emails, applications, interviews...this amazing experience has began in September 2017. Mentoring includes job shadowing, team building, tutoring, inspiring, listening, support, direction, brotherhood, sisterhood, literally...beyond our school walls! We also have mentoring within our school walls, where any adult who cares, can come in for a volunteer background check, and meet with small groups of students during their lunch & lead class once a week. I began this program 3 years ago after with a desire to provide an extra layer of support to students who need it. We welcome YOU! Some of our PTA members, Parents, Business Partners & school staff have done this last year! This is one of the most rewarding parts of my work as well! Making a difference in the lives of our teens is what we do...❤️



WRAL was there to catch our students going in to Captrust for the first time:
