Mentoring Makes a Difference
Posted by Valerie Trigg Copley
Our speaker this Wednesday will be Waymond Wesley--the Campus At Risk Coordinator HMS & TMS Middle School.
Waymond developed the AIM program to help less privileged and at-risk students succeed in school. The program connects professional and community members with students as mentors. Mentors meet on campus with their student at least twice per month, usually during lunch breaks.
The AIM program started its first year with 43 mentors at Humble MS. In January 2010, Humble ISD was awarded the Gold Award by the Texas Association of Partners in Education for the mentor program partnerships. The AIM program is expanding to campuses district wide thanks to increasing business and professional organizations involvement.
Waymond's personal childhood challenges make his story even more successful. Thanks for your dedication & hard work!!!

Earlier this year, Waymond visited our club, and as a result, many of our generous Rotarians agreed to join Waymond's team and become mentors. Thanks, Rotarians!
