Anthony Community Middle School:

Get involved with kids in ADC's adopted Minneapolis public school:

ADC has adopted this school with a program for 6-8th graders and had a rich experience with it for many years. Current opportunities include:



EMAIL MENTORS

Make a difference in the community and never leave your worksite! Become an e-mail mentor to one student.

A group of Anthony students, who have been selected because of their high reading scores on standardized tests that would indicate a higher level of classroom performance than is currently given, is matched up with an ADC employee.

Most students have a GPA of 2.0 or below. Students need:
Assistance in goal setting skills
Someone to pay attention to them
Motivation to improve their grades
Help in realizing how what they learn in middle school applies to "real life."

Time commitment: One hour a week for the school year. This volunteer opportunity is available to ADC employees worldwide.
